Hike from Marsh Creek to Dagger Falls vs. Bear Valley Hot Spring

After Jim earns major Manly Point by driving deep into the Wilderness and hitchhiking back, everyone is all smiles before the big hike

Side trip to Bear Valley Hot Spring - great soak - required crossing the two main creeks feeding Middle Fork of the Salmon River. The first crossing we battle a fly hatch and the second required carrying Utek.

Jim and Ethan ponder floating the rest of the way to the falls

It wasn't easy finding a level spot for pitching a tent; but, we managed.

Ethan explores an old log cabin.

Our Reward - Dagger Falls!!!
