Even if i could remember wher the ones i have seen are, there is a crew that hikes around dismantling the illegal ones. Just go and look for them, and use what is there.

On the Fletcher Creek side, I think Booth lake is too high to have a fire but Emeric lake and Babcock lakes have nice places to camp with fire rings.

If you are above 9600 feet and there is a ring, it's illegal. You can tell when you are above 9600 feet by looking at your map.
