We slept in till 7 since breakfast wasn't served until 730. Compared to last night's dinner breakfast was disappointing, not bad but it was just a standard continental breakfast. Over all the dinner was great and worth it but they need to figure out the lodge. 150 to stay in a nice cabin with no modern convinces is fine, but a train rolling by every 30 minutes ruins the atmosphere.
The hike started out in a burn area with blow downs all over the place and rolling hills. In other words it was slow going. We eventually made it to a forest rangers back country cabin and they suggested an alternate route for the afternoon's hike. The CDT follows does a big pointless climb up a mountain that almost nobody ever takes. We opted out since it was through more burnt area. The alternate everyone takes is along the north fork of the badger creek. The rangers said this would be pretty muddy, boggy, and overgrown. They suggested we take the south fork instead which had less mud and bogs. I don't know how bad the north fork was but the route we took was pretty nice. Lots of views, medows, and trees. There were a few boggy sections but not really worth mentioning. Over all I'm happy with the ranger's suggestion.
