Greg and Patti hike at Redfish/Bench Lakes

Greg and Patti had a great adventure on Labor Day weekend. We drove to Stanley Friday night and stayed in a motel. First thing Saturday we went to Redfish lake and rode the boat to the other end of the lake. From there we hiked 4.5 miles to the Bench Lakes above Redfish lakes. We stayed Saturday and Sunday nights there. We also went on several short hikes from our base camp. One was for 5 hours going to 4 of the six Bench Lakes. We returned Monday AM back to the Lodge end of Redfish lake. It was 30 degrees when we got up that morning.
