Wonderland Trail day 6

Nickle Creek Camp proved to be the worst camp all agreed. it was very far from the creek for water and it was tiny. We got up and hit the trail to find yet some more downhill that would take us across the highway to Stevens Canyon. We followed the creek up all day past several waterfalls and a couple of trail washouts. This is one of those streams you would like to see at spring runoff. The place is decimated and yet at this time of year you could jump across the stream.
We took lunch at Martha Falls where there was a sign at the bridge...no horses, laughable because it was a small log across a big stream.
We finally made it to Reflection Lake after passing Louise Lake. We got some good photos and hung out there awhile. Lance took pictures for the tourists. It was comedy to see people drive up, roll down their window, take pictures and drive off.
We made camp at Paradise Camp which we all loved. there were sawed planks of old trees that made nice tables.
