Greg and I spent the 4th of July this year at the cabin. Grandma and Grandpa, Julie, Rachel and her family, and Diane and her family were also there. Since I have discovered that I love to go hiking, I decided to hike to Boulder Lake. The hike was pretty hard for me, but the end result was so worth it!
The hike starts at Boulder Reservoir.
The trail winds along the shore, and then heads up the mountain. It was a beautiful day, blue sky, and just a few white fluffy clouds! Perfect day for a hike.
This picture is about half way up the trail.
When I was almost to the lake, I had to leave the trail and hike up the granite rock face. This is because there was still so much spring run off that it caused a waterfall to come over the rock and across the trail.
That was the hardest part, but once I got to the top it was so worth it! Boulder Lake is absolutely gorgeous!
Sitting by the lake, enjoying the beauty, made me appreciate this beautiful world that we live in. I am so grateful to a loving Heavenly Father who created this world for us to live on. And that we have such spectacular sights so close to where we live. It is truly amazing and very humbling.
I can't wait to take more hikes and see the beauty that we have around the cabin!
What a great 4th of July for me!
