Our hike is 6.5 miles and 3,300’ elevation descent through this drainage basin. Ten-mile long Lake McDonald shrouded in a cloud blanket (center horizon). 
Somewhere near halfway down. 
Made it through the raising cloud. 
Lake McDonald Lodge provided parking during our 4-day, 3-night Chalet experience. This is where we sat to enjoy our bagged lunch. 
View from lunch spot. 
Context: We sat next to this without noticing for 30 minutes. And then it happened – “Wow!” 
Bags always labeled with reservation name and party size, but probably rarely have Cinderella Castle drawn on them. Or the letter O made into a Mickey Mouse symbol.
Chronic feet challenges but great knees. Who doesn’t love a 6.5-mile, 3,300’ downhill hike wearing two backpacks?
