Lava Lake

On 6/2 we hiked back to Lava Lake. It was a 3 mile hike that was all uphill. The last part of it was all switchbacks and I seriously thought that I was going to die before we made it to the lake. I was totally embarrassed when our group was passed by a little old lady about 2 miles in. I have got to get back into shape!

I couldn't believe what a gorgeous day it was, the temperature made it up into the 80's but there was a great breeze the entire time. There were so many great places to stop and the entire trip had great views of the creek. The trip was definitely one of my favorites.

Cassidy had a blast, every time that we would stop and take her out of her pack she would try to climb back into it. She also seemed to think that she needed to put every pine cone she could find into her mouth. I carried her most of the way back so that I could get used to carrying her. I am starting to second guess all of the extra helpings of food that she thinks she needs.
