Heather Lake - May 2010


Since becoming a cube monkey again, I can only hike on weekends. Today’s was a quick trip to Heather Lake (about a hour from the house). Bogie and I rocked it out pretty quickly and even made it completely around the lake. I think it is about 5 miles round trip with just about 1/3 of it rocky switchbacks. There was a decent amount of snow at the lake and that actually help matters. We were able to walk on the snow pack on top of the last seasons avalanche damage. The early start allowed us to miss most of the crowds but the parking lot was getting full as we left. Forgot to snap a picture but met a hiker as we were coming down that was taking his 11 week old black lab puppy for his first hike. How cool!

Huge stump with a tree growing out of it.

At the lake, great day!

Whoa, must have left the zoom setting on!

Snow dog is quite happy!







Next three pictures a me experimenting with the cameras timer!
