HIGHLIGHTS:  Our hike in the White River National Forest followed the Sweetwater and Rim Lake trails of the Flat Top Wilderness. The Ox and I planned to hike to over 10,000 feet and try some trout fishing at both Shepherd and Rim Lakes, but we were too early in the season and the snow lingered in the upper elevations. We ended up camping along a nice stream at 9500 feet near a large meadow a few miles from the trailhead.
