Day 3 begins with an easy descent following the Chiwawa R trail. Following the directions in the "Routes and Rocks" book, we veer off the trail to find and almost identical version of our Day 1 ascent of Phelps Ridge. After crossing the Chiwawa (some of us waded and others crossing on a jumble of logs) we head up on very steep faint trail until we leave the forest for a meadow. The cutoff to Massie Lake isn't far. Rounding a shoulder, you spy beautiful Massie Lake and with a short descent you reach a fine campsite. For all its beauty and scenery, you would have wasted a trip if you came for the fishing as I've only seen one fish caught here in the three times I've been here (never got a strike myself).
