My backacking/climbing trip of Middle Sister

Approach was from the west side through the limited Obsidian trail. Only 40 people a day, unless you're a PCT'er, are allowed. None in my group had ever been and needless to say the info we read and were given all led us to believe it wasn't going to be too hard......well, , it was an adventure. Just finding our camp, Arrowhead lake, was a serious pain. Then the skeeters were horrible. Awesome, awesome setting though.

Anyway, here's my pics.















The lake is hugging these cliffs.
