Part way through day two, I took a left turn on to the trail up Copper Ridge, after crossing Hannegan Peak and descending for a mile. Once on the ridge, the trail goes up and down. I had to stop and descend a couple hundred feet to Egg Lake to get some water, since there is none on the ridge line. Then it is a 1000 foot climb up to where the Copper Ridge Lookout Station sits. Unfortunately there was no ranger to visit with. Then there is a descent down to Copper Lake, where I spent the night. The next day, it is more up and down for a while until finally doing the long 3300 foot descent to the Chilliwack River.

A very nice camp site at Copper Lake.
