8 Mile Lake Hike

On Sunday we took Annie's parents, John and Carol and Annie's sister, Caitlin on a hike up to 8 Mile Lake. The hike was three miles into the lake and three miles back with a gain of elevation of 1200'.

There were many wildflowers and butterflies along the way. We were slightly bothered by the mosquitoes and flies that followed us up the trail.

Kent fished for a few minutes, had a lot of bites and caught one cutthroat trout.


A marmot was very interested in our lunch. At one point he was only two feet away from us before we scared it away.
