Mirror Lake

Despite the light rain on Saturday morning some colleagues and I decided to do a 3 mile snow shoeing trek to Mirror Lake and back. We got as high as 4100 feet and what we saw was well worth any perceived difficultly getting up there. Having Thomas' 14 year old son along helped bring out the young boys in all of us -especially as we took several shortcuts by sliding down from the summit (several hundred feet) on more than one occasion to save time ; What a thrill. Getting lost on the trail was almost exciting. My photos do no justice to the peace and calm that this place is. It is undisturbed, pristine, and the snow is so clean that it appears blue in daylight. I won't mention the other colored snow we passed left by an overly territorial bear !
Thanks to everyone who joined and hopefully we can plan something again soon !
