Vince:

I just got back from a backpack trip into that area. Hiked the Mill-Castle loop in Four days, three nights. The upper basins are pretty dry, forage is poor above 12,500'. No large herds hanging out in the high basins. The forage is really lush around timberline and I think that's where they are hanging out right now. Local outfitter told me that it was dry early in the season but has been raining lately.

It rained every evening while I was there. But a lot of the seeps are dry. I think this year will be a lot like last year.

I took this photo from the Mill Creek parking lot.

I have a 3rd season tag otherwise I would jump at this invitation. .

For any of you guys who want to learn something about elk hunting, saddlesore is a great guy to learn from and he's good camp company.
