This is our hike from Mirror Lake on Saturday, our last full day there. What a grand time we had here!
 |
Since we were going to swing by the truck,
Wally was put to work hauling garbage out. |
 |
| Senior mutts have retired from hauling loads. |
 |
We climb up the trail heading to the Summit Peak tower.
It was steep! |
 |
| The steps up. Ya, good snow depth up here. |
 |
It was very windy and cold up here, so much we couldn't stand
to get up on the tower. |
 |
| On to the trail head, we took the road to the truck. |
 |
There we met some friendly locals from Chassell,
who we've met on our local trails before.... |
 |
...plus a couple from Illinois who some how slid into the ditch
while turning around.
No shovel, no winter clothing, poor tires. What can we say. |
 |
| OK, back to hiking! We took the Beaver Creek trail. |
 |
| We hadn't been on this in many years. |
 |
| We found it to be quite lovely! |
 |
| Impressive bridge over Beaver Creek. |
 |
| Sandy spied a beaver cavorting around in the water. |
 |
At the junction, we met up with our Chassell-ites again.
There mutt was very friendly. Hope we see them again! |
 |
| Old dogs do like to tussle some, too. |
 |
| Then, we met a couple and trail mutt from Ohio. |
 |
We'd met her at the hiking conference in MN last fall. Imagine...
we meet only 3 couples all trip and 2 of the couples we've met before.
What are the chances of that! |
 |
| OK time to head back towards the cabin. |
 |
We had such a nice hike today.
Followed by more wood cutting of course! |
