Picture yourself relaxing, after a carefully prepared meal that has been cooked over open campfire, as the setting sun alights the granite in a blaze of orange, and dusk envelops the valley of Ranger Creek. Below on the grassy meadow, deer and elk mingle with your saddle horse, grazing contentedly. High above in the distance you see the jagged crags that hang over tomorrow's destination, a ride through pristine alpine meadows to the emerald Lost Guide Lake.
