This was a solo 3-day trip starting on Labor Day 2016 (2016-09-05). I backpacked from the Clay Butte trailhead to the Lake Fork trailhead via Omega Pass. The weather was variable: snowy, cold, sunny, overcast, etc. It was a great trip.
Kaite, Maggie and Ally hiked with me for the first mile or so.
The snow and Fall colors were pretty.

I turned off the trail ...
... and made camp North of Martin Lake.
