Our most adventurous hike was the hike down to the lake itself. There is only one trail down to the lake and it is down, down, down. Which was fine, fun actually. We had a nice shady hike down through the trees to the edge of the lake.
The lake was beautiful and clear and blue. It had a lot of yellow pollen in it, but that was even clean. The water was freezing cold, but there were a few swimmers. After watching people jump in we persuaded McKinley and Evan to give it a shot. Evan jumped right in and screamed. McKinley counted down 6 or 7 times and finally jumped in and screamed. It was shockingly cold!
Then we had the hike back up, up, up. It was a great workout and a constant strain on the body. I made it after several stops and breathing pretty hard. That's definitely a once in a lifetime hike!
