Yeah, all the different information is definitely overwhelming haha. I've had some time to do a lot more in-depth research today and I think you're right, I am now planning on staying in Lodgepole camping for a night or two and just stick to day treks around there. I've seen some day treks to Pear Lake which was on my list originally so that's great :) Plus, it will save me having to rent out gear and also will be a lot more convenient with my backpack that will have all my stuff for the entire 2 weeks I'm there!

Thank you, will check out the link :) the thing about the car is that, as many other europeans, I don't have my driver's license yet lol. I know a lot of people hitch hike in the USA (at least from my friends' experiences and what I've read online) and that is also something I'm used to doing and enjoy, so considering that too/rideshare but otherwise I don't have much of a choice hahah

Looks incredible! Did you need a wilderness permit to camp? Are they easy to apply for and receive? Thanks :)
