The third and last day backpacking near Seiad on the Pacific Crest Trail had a bit more ridge view, some search for a different short way down, then a long route around passing a pair of waterfalls.

The second day backpacking, there was much ridge views and even a peak to bag (Rattlesnake Mountain) along both the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and the Boundary National Recreation Trail.

Back in California (barely) with a three day backpacking trip flirting with the edge of Red Buttes Wilderness. High ridge views and a little snow. First, the tough climb up West Fork Seiad Creek to camp among pools with springs in the bottoms.

Day 4 was for returning, but there was enough time for one more peak and a visit to the triple point. Water from there variously goes into the Smith River (via middle fork), the Illinois River (via east fork), and Klamath River (via Clear Creek).

Day 2 didn't go quite to plan, but it did touch 3 different national forests while wandering a canyon and eventually ending up at Raspberry Lake.
