We decided to hike the trail to Emerald Lake again, just like last time, in honor of our engagement along the way (the first time) at Dream Lake. The day was a bit overcast, making for so-so pictures, but it was still a great day. This hike is about 4 miles round-trip.
Nymph Lake is still full of lilipads!
Dream Lake - ah, such a good memory here!
While resting at the final stop, Emerald Lake, a very strange fog started rolling in from the mountains above. When the wind also picked up, we decided it was time to head back. Weird!
It was a good day. This hike isn't too strenuous once you get past the initial elevation gain. It's also one of the more popular hikes, meaning there are lots of people along the trail. Including screaming babies. Note to parents: kids who can not yet talk may not find it fun riding on your bike in 40 degree weather for 3 hours. Do us all a favor and leave them at home - or wait until they can walk themselves up and down the mountain!
