We headed out of town Friday late morning. Luckily our softball team sucks and we were out of the tournament Thursday night (which is another story because we had a really good game). We drove out to Grandjean which is nestled up to the foothills of the Sawtooth Wilderness. It is a really beautiful area. We decided to go hiking on Saturday and put in a solid 11 miles (5.5 miles pretty much straight up hill. Okay, so it was all slightly uphill except the last mile was STRAIGHT uphill). The trail went alongside Trail Creek most of the way and our destination was Trail Creek Lakes. It was quite the hike but a very good day. Up early this morning and doing chores and getting ready for the week.
There were a lot of pretty wildflowers
Trail Creek
Huge dandelion-looking thing
The only reason I go camping - Smores!
Trail Creek Lake
This is the cliff that drops into the lake. I didn't have my smaller lense so I couldn't get it all in one shot.
This is the creek that our camping spot was on, looking back at the Sawtooths.
Same creek, different direction
After 11 miles (which is about 20 miles for Lucy since she runs all over the place and doesn't stay on the trail), we had one exhausted mutt. She couldn't even stand up to eat or drink. Hazen says she is flipping me off with her eyes in this photo.
