Mel and I hiked to Red Pine Lake a couple weeks ago. Gloria Falls is just a small detour off the trail to Red Pine Lake, and so she showed me how to find it. It was beautiful! That's the waterfall that we had tried to find a while ago and couldn't, so I was glad I could finally see it. Ha! :)
This hike was gorgeous the whole way!
Mel was talking about her renewed love of hiking she's had lately as her and Ataiya have been hiking together a lot. She said there are things that you can only see if you hike to them, and that's something she loves about it. That's such a good description of one of the rewards of hiking. There is so much beauty out there, and I love being able to see it.
We made it to the lake and it was beautiful!
We both would have loved to stay and enjoy the view, but the bugs were insane by the water. They were swarming us and it was unbearable, so we didn't stay long before heading back down.
It was so great to hike with Mel and have a few hours to visit with her. Thanks for the fun morning Mel!!
Such great pictures! I'm glad you and Mel were able to hike there together and yes, there certainly are things that you see hiking that you can't see anywhere else!
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty. How fun to have that time to visit while doing something you both love.
