Over Labor Day, Mike, Megan, and I went to the cabin with Grandma and Grandpa for a few relaxing days. On Saturday, we went for a hike. We hiked the Boulder Lake/Louie Lake Loop. It is about 6.5 miles, with 5 of it being up hill!
Here we are at our first stop, Boulder Lake.
Once we left Boulder Lake, we climbed up and over the summit to Louie Lake. Here we are along the top. People say that this meadow is full of wildflowers in late June/early July. We may have to do the hike then to see them! The whole time we hiked thru the meadow, I kept thinking of the opening scene to "The Sound of Music." Can anyone sing, "The hills are alive......."
About half way down the other side, you get to Louie Lake. It's not as big as Boulder Lake, but it is still just as beautiful!
Here we are at the end of the loop, very tired, but excited we did it!
I have had a goal for the summer to ride my bike from our house to Lucky Peak. So the weekend after Labor Day, I finally made the big ride. Here's my pictures to prove it!
As we say goodbye to summer, we have lots of great memories! And can start dreaming of next summer!
