12 year old son, wife and I just finished a 2 night 3 day backpack from vista lake parking lot to sunshine
The larch trees at the top of gibbon pass were spectacular. Not an easy hike though. We went from twin lakes to Egypt lake campground in 1 day.

Last photo is at Healey pass. After seeing basically no one Saturday there were hundreds of people on this trail from sunshine
