Itinerary description

3 pm Day 1: Starting from Lost Park parking lot, head south on Brookside-McCurdy trail.
8.30 am Day 2: Go up Bison Peak then back onto trail. Stopped and camped at 5pm because of rain.
8 am Day 3: Continue in McCurdy trail, then turn onto Goose Creek, then Wydwam trail (until the end).

Dogs on leash allowed on trail.

Take caution with summer storm during the afternoons and with lightning when out in the open.

Many water sources along the trail, kind of scarce on McCurdy trail (so plan ahead).
