This morning we left camp around 7:30am. We hiked through some small ups and downs before descending about a thousand feet.
We then proceeded to climb the rest of the day. The first two miles uphill were the steepest part of the ascent. We eventually hiked to some spectacular views!
After completing over fifteen miles we reached Chicken Spring Lake!
The lake was beautiful but upon reaching it a strange mix of rain and snow started to fall. The wind cut across the lake making the air frigid. Sean had been hoping to fish, but we set up our tent early instead to hide from the weather.
You ain’t no spring chicken, lake!
