Hiked up to Moose Lake for the first night. Lovely campsite still plenty of water. Bears prevalent but the bear wire there takes care of the food issue. Tons of mosquitoes.
The hike over Grand View Pass was well, grand.
The second night spent in Three Forks was a good distance from Moose Lake, but definitely was an all day trek down Grand Creek. Three Forks campsite is deep in a valley and dark, but beautiful and feels very remote and wild.
The last day of the three day trip was spent climbing steeply until Deer Park and then miserable weather set in on the long traverse to Obstruction Point Trailhead.
A great trip although the last day of weather was lousy. I would definitely recommend the route I took, which was Obstruction -->Moose Lake --> Three Forks --> back to Obstruction. Have fun and be safe!
