We started our backpacking at Lake Bowman. We went through Polebridge and stopped for Danish (a tradition) but being lunch time, we opted for the meatball/cheese sandwich which I highly recommend. We at our lunch at the shore of Lake Bowman. The slight haze and glassy waters made for a very serene and calming experience.
This day's hike would be an easy flat 7 miles to the Bowman Head Campground, basically a hike the entire length of Lake Bowman. The campsite was empty when we arrived but eventually we had one other couple at the campsite. Otherwise, we didn't see a person on the trail. The campsite included a stream running right next to us so it was a great opportunity for some cascading rapids using my modified Peak Design tripod where the leg sections were removed creating an 18" tripod that could be extended to about 2' tall.
