I'm in. Rock Creek was a good time. I think Ridgeline is in too.
If anything changes let me know.

The plan is to camp at Mahogany Flats, probably both nights. Check the first campground when you go by. If its not crowded maybe we'll move down there, but not sure yet. Look for the 4Runner with snowboard racks.
When we did Wildrose last time we were hiking in clouds so no views. Hope you can make it!
