Backpack into Wheeler Lakes- Near Copper Mountain

Details

We're going to backpack into Wheeler Lakes. I have been in there a few times and have always wanted to camp there for a few days. It's a very nice setting with two lakes.
For a description of the go here: Wheeler Lakes Colorado - Two Awesome Alpine Lakes with a Surprise
We'll stay two nights. On Saturday you can do whatever you want to. One option would be to hike up the Gore Range Trail that continues up to Uneva pass which is a little over 11,000. There is an unnamed peak up there east of the pass that tops out at 12,242.
We'll come back out and drive home on Sunday.
You can go in and/or come out whenever it suits you.
I'm going to check on fishing the lakes.

There are no restrooms at the trailhead that I know of.
