Hike to Mirror Lake

Last weekend we hiked up to Mirror Lake with the kids. It was an absolutely beautiful day. Mirror Lake is a cool lake because it is only a lake in the spring. It is a snow melt lake and so once the snow has all meted and drained off the mountains, it drys up. In fact last summer when my parents came to visit we hiked up there and walked back through the lake bed. It was cool.

We ate our lunch at the lake and watched all the beautiful things up there. The river is flowing like crazy now (also dried up the rest of the year). We took Izzy on our hike and she had a great time. She loved fetching sticks that we threw into the river.

On the walk back we went past the stables to say hi to friends that work there and Jack got a ride. He quite enjoyed himself.
