For the first hike of the season, we went with Dee & Steve to a place none of us had been before: Fish Creek Trail to Leche Lake. It was a beautiful day and we took the dogs and lunch along. We sidetracked along the way to Opal Lake then continued our hike.
Everything was so green from all the spring rains and the meadows and forest were surrounded with mountains and rocky cliffs. We walked through scenic meadows, saw a cow elk in one, crossed a few creeks along the way.
We stepped off the trail on a ridge and were rewarded with some spectacular views...
Before arriving at our destination and enjoying lunch by Leche Lake, named for it's milky appearance.
Hopefully, this is the first of many hikes we will enjoy this summer!
