All of the campgrounds in the park require permits for overnight stays, which of course the guiding company takes care of. Unfortunately (for them) we had to tell another group of hikers that they were in our spots. They were a bit grumpy but we made friends when we shared our leftovers from dinner and breakfast with them. They were on the last day of their trip and were short on food.

I rented some gear (tent, sleeping bag, and pack) from the guiding company. Here is my tent, next to two others of the group. Later in the trip we had a contest to see who could pitch the tent fastest. I took second place behind the guide. All of our food and toiletries were tied up high at night, away from the test sites. Overall, it was a good group of people, with lots of interesting things to chat about on the long hours on the trail.
