Mystic Camp to Ipsut CG
I trekked about 5 miles along Moraine Creek, and crossed the moraine at the foot of Carbon Glacier. It was about midday when I arrived at my next assigned camp at Carbon River. It was a beautiful area with Cataract Creek nearby, top right. I asked the ranger there if I could continue to Ipsut Creek Campground, 3 miles farther west. He radioed Ipsut and I got to go. I got to photograph more lush scenery along the way. I'd heard about asking rangers to adjust the itinerary if possible. I used it again the next afternoon !
