Glad you had a good time - the test of success for a first trip is whether you decide there will be a second trip!

Looks like some pretty country to hike through - I can sympathize with the rock-strewn trail. At least, here in the east, we have the decency to half-bury them firmly in the ground, so they don't roll out from under your feet. (We save that particular pleasure for the rocks in the stream you're crossing.)

I'm curious: how did you like camping in a backcountry campground; would you have preferred to find your own site, without the picnic table (and whatever other amenities the campground had)? I'm always torn. I love camping away from everything, but I also enjoy having the luxury of a picnic table for sitting and meal prep; outhouses are nice, too.

Anyhow, we're all waiting for your NEXT trip report!
