Indian Heaven Wilderness Thomas Lake TH to Junction & Blue Lake with PCT Hikers

Gorgeous day in Indian Heaven Wilderness. Thomas Lake TH was absolutely packed, but trail system handled the crowds well. Plenty of ripe Huckleberries, and plenty of people picking them. We started at the Thomas Lake TH, but then took a seldom used trail, near Rock Lake, to get to Junction Lake. We then met two PCT hikers, as we headed south toward Blue Lake. The PCT through hikers names were SkinnyD and Mr. Clean, and we gave them each a few treats and wished them well. We didn't see any other PCT hikers all the way to Blue Lake. We then head back to the TH from Blue Lake. We love this wilderness area, and it didn't disappoint!
