When permits are hard to come by, the Saddlebag Lake area is always a good fallback.
We spent the first night in a developed campground, and then we ventured in along the south side of Saddlebag Lake. The first major lake just to the left of the trail is Greenstone Lake. Mark arrived there first, and he found us a beautiful spot up on a bluff. Daphney enjoyed taking toddling steps in the lush grass.
This is a great intro-to-backpacking location.
