Best section of Wonderland Trail (backpack)

Details

Wonderland Trail is one of the most popular long treks in the PNW. This year one of us won the lottery to do this trek. Based on our experience from 2022, we decide to skip the "not so wonderful" section of the trail and only do the section with the best views: from Mowich Lake to Box Canyon.

Rough itinerary as followed:
7/13: Head up to Washington and drop cars at Box Canyon (exist point)
7/14: Mowich Lake to Mystic Lake Camp (about 12 miles and 4K elevation gain)
7/15: Mystic Lake Camp to Sunrise Camp (about 8 miles and 2.8K elevation gain)
7/16: Sunrise Camp to Summerland Camp (about 10 miles and 2.4k elevation gain)
7/17: Sunrise Camp to Indian Bar Camp (about 4.3 miles and 1k elevation gain)
7/18: Indianbar Camp to Box Canyon then drive home (about 7 miles and 1.4k elevation gain).

We plan to form a team of 6 people to do this trip.
