Woke up to gorgeous views and got good intel from a native in hikers. Woke up in sunny gulch with this cute t@g view. Then we drove to redfish Sandy Beach to catch the shuttle. Pics of lots of pointing.
We walked up the valley a ways before turning back to bench lakes. The hike was great but we probably all over heated a bit. Here are some of those amazing Sawtooth pics.

The Trail to bench lakes was super dusty with that fine grain dust. I tried to catch it in a picture. The horse flies were an added nuisance but we made it to the beach and even had a pretty amazing sunset at the campsite. All on all a fantastic day even though Ringo found a dead fish at the salmon River and decided to roll around on it. So, we had to wash him under the water pump. We’ve probably scarred him for life. Oh well.

So much to see and do; so little time! Enjoy it while you can! Sawtooth Mtns are just what they named them!
