2d day will be devoted to exploring the area with options from bagging Strawberry Mountain - Indian Spring Butte - Graham mt west peak - Graham mt (Rabbit ears, Slide-Rinner, Slide) to just make it up to Strawberry Mountain and spend evening at the lake
3d day
bag remaining peaks break camp and head back to the trailhead and drive home, with eventual stops in interesting places
