‎We arrived at Beech Gap this afternoon without any issues. Our hike this morning was uphill for about 4 hours followed by mostly downhill this afternoon.   We hiked about 9 miles.  Elevation change today was from 3,880 at Standing Indian campground to 5,498 at the top of Standing Indian Mtn then back down to 4,431 at Beech Gap campsite.

The pictures above are of the scouts setting up camp and cooking their dinner.  Mr Beaullieu is hanging his bear bag.  We walked over several piles of bear scat on the trail so we knew that bears were active in the area.

Tomorrow is a 10 mile day and we are headed toward the summit of Albert Mountain. We've got some sore feet and knees but everyone is doing well.
