Idaho Sawtooths backpacking. w/Matt, Nathan.

Idaho sawtooth backpacking with Matt and son Nathan.  Alpine and Cramer lakes.  To get to the trailhead at Redfish lake, we needed to take a boat ride to get dropped off.  Then to boat would return a few days later to pick us up.   
First stop Alpine lake, no fires in this drainage. 
3 Cramer lakes, could build fires if you have a fire blanket or pan.  
Made a summit run to one of passes, then return back to camp. 
Had to cross the river, keeping the wet boots on for the rest of the trip.
The last 5 mile boat ride was done in 4 mins.   yee haw.
