READERS COMMENTS
As Mr. Keene states, this a 3 day, 2 night trip. Even in 3 days, many find this to be quite challenging.
BSP visitors have been mistakenly planning this as a 2 day 1 night trip. Most if not all of those that do leave very frustrated without completing their objective.
Otherwise, this is a good description of a less traveled part of Baxter.
