After a cool, wet spring, we finally had a bit of warm weather for this hike. We covered the 3.7 miles in about 3 hours. The going was a bit slow in places. The hike wasn't difficult in terms of elevation gain, but the path was narrow at times and crossed several gullies that were bridged with logs. We spotted several wildflowers, flowering shrubs, and other interesting plants or fungi that made their homes in the wooded habitat. There was a nice breeze on the lake, we had no encounters with potentially dangerous critters, and I managed to stay on my feet for this hike, so I count it a success! Stay tuned; we are planning more hikes!
