Hi britonwhit(ney) -

We were originally planning to do the full BSL - but we ran into technical difficulties with our water pump up at Granite Lake at the end of the first day, so we descended back down Copper Creek the following day to replace it. We then got a permit for Woods Creek in order to rejoin the trail and completed the rest of the loop from there via Colby pass. Even though we missed a bit of the loop, it was still an amazing trip with lots of spectacular hiking, and obviously the highlight was our wedding atop Mount Whitney, which couldn't have been more perfect.
