Gem LAke Hike
Monday hubby and I headed up to
I picked the hike to
We arrived at the trailhead and were happy to see that there was plenty of parking!
The hike was not a death march but we definitely worked up asweat! There was even a solar powered potty near the top!
When we did arrive atthe top the view was amazing!!!
It was such a great view and so neat!
The only downside was that since the hike wasn’t too difficult there were a ton of children along with parental units that let them run wild, screaming and carrying on. And let me indicate that the screaming was being done at this lovely lake, a lake that was really a granite hole, inside a granite alley which means of course – ECHO’s… Grrrr… Nothing like ruining a perfectly wonderful natural spot.
All in all, it was a wonderful hike! We might try it again when the leaves turn!
I can understand kids trying out the echo-thing, but the constant screaming drives me up a wall. My father had a rule in our house: if someone's screaming, someone better be bleeding.
