Pioneer Basin Trip part 3

Pioneer Basin Sunset 4
We spent a layover day resting in Pioneer Basin by the water. It was a really nice, relaxing day which we spent reading, napping, and just enjoying the lovely scenery. Many of our co-hikers took day hikes around the area, and a few even braved a trip up Mt. Hopkins nearby. I was on cooking duty, so I had to help put together lunch and dinner. We both considered taking a dip in what looked like a very nice and refreshing lake, but the water was absolutely freezing and we chickened out. Shveta was recovering well, and I think at this point we really started to enjoy the trip. Later that evening there were some other campers across the lake who apparenlty brought a banjo and were entertaining us with their songs well into the night.

We got up the next day and started our hike to our next campsite at Hopkins Lake.
