Day 3 was a relatively short hike of just under 10 miles, but we had almost 1,700 ft of elevation change.

My birthday started off perfectly with a moose sighting as we were preparing to hit the trail. We did some off trail travel and some water crossings. I took an unexpected swim during one of them. We ended at High Lake campsite (WD5).
