Located in the northwestern corner of the contiguous United States on the border with the Great White North, there are incredible alpine meadows and unmatched views to be enjoyed by intrepid campers. At only 5.7 miles in, there are great campsites - not too taxing for seasoned hikers. However, the trek is physically demanding. At 7,600 feet from sea level, the oxygen is thin, and things can get disorienting. Add to that the year-round risk of avalanches, and this is truly one of the most dangerous places to try to camp.
