I looked at the Wind Rivers again on Google Earth, and it's finally in high resolution. :party:

Last year it looked like a 3rd grade cartoon drawing.

Check out Junction lake

Wow that looks much better than it did in the past. Is there any way you could mark the trail that goes from the Sweeney Lake Trail as well as the good camp sites around Junction Lake?

I haven't been able to find that trail on any maps.

Since the campspot is already highly popular, there's no use in keeping it secret. I put an "alt camp" on the point of the same lake that is actually very good too.

The trailhead is Elkhart Park, and I've got the turnoff point from the lower sweeney lake.
