Alpine Lakes High Route via Iron Cap

[leuschner]

i just got back from a hardcore 4 day backpacking trip (the "Alpine Lakes High Route"). i  dangled from a 1000 foot cliff by a tree root with a full pack on my back while searching for the elusive Iron Cap Pass, no real trails for miles in any direction. we would gain or lose 500 - 1000 feet of elevation several times a day, up and down up and down

Wow - that is just... gorgeous. "Gorgeous" does not give it justice.

What's the story with the little cabin?

There were plenty of gorges along the way, so "gorgeous" fits the bill.
