We saw thousands of swallows flying in and out of their nests in the canyon walls, and a most bedraggled coyote swimming madly upstream. Because of the access difficulty, Mush Lake is in pristine condition, has never been logged, and shows few of human presence. The shores of the lake are mountainous and dramatic, rising straight from the water's edge. These views from our camp at the North end of the lake give an idea of what a first-class wilderness can look like. Along the way, we met loons, saw mountain goats grazing on the hillside, and lusted after the big lake trout that were jumping all around the canoe.
