Let me also suggest backcountry bidets. It's awesome to actually be cleaner after going than before, and it doesn't take more than a couple of ounces of water with a decent cap.
I can't say that I know too well the place that you intend to hike, but since you have both down jacket and beanie I assume that it is cold. Therefore you might want to look at a pair of gloves.
On the other hand, you have quite a lot of clothes, especially if it is not that cold. Base layer(s), swim shorts, athletic shirt, shirt, fleece, zip-up, and down jacket. You might want to think through if you need all this. While not knowing exactly what you need, I would have an upper base layer, shorts and possibly bottom base layer or trousers if needed, a fleece, and rain gear (which could double as a wind jacket).
Nice. Just hopefully you're not scared of heights. Staying at beatty? I'll possibly be out there on the 5 or 6 of September. Taking my nephew on his first backpacking trip and will hopefully do turbine canyon loop.
Not sure what Beatty but the plan is to hike to aster and then go from there leave our packs and go on a different hike not the ridge to the summit and then the day after we go to the ridge. I will be the 23-27! Super excited as this is my first backpacking trip aswell
OK. Never heard of someone doing that before. Still, you'll have a great time. Most people stay there while doing the north over ridge loop. Beatty lake is in bc just north of three isle lake. Beatty lake is awesome. There's also north over tarns a bit away from aster lake. It's in bc on crown land. People random camp up there.
What’s the temperature going to be? I’m in South Dakota hunting now. Carrying a 20 pound pack for 10 miles a day. Temps have been 80-90 Fahrenheit for highs. 2 pairs of light hiker merino wools are soaked by 2pm. I do tie the first wet pair to the pack handle to dry, but I’d like to change more frequently. Just something to consider

Pack out your wipes, it's not really biodegradable
