Weekend Hiking Trip 09-19-09
This weekend we drove up to Lake Marie in the Snowy Mnt Range elevation 8238ft, this lake is at the base of Medicine Bow peak. This peak reaches up 12013+ft total elevation. Harrison and Yvonne walked around the lake and fished. Me and Dakota hiked up on a trail to the top of the west peak which was 11920ft, had great views along the way. Took a lot of pictures from the top. (No bears or Mountain Lions). After talking with fellow hikers there is a 7 mile trail that goes from the trail head up to west peak where I was with Dakota then goes up to the Medicine Bow Peak main before circling several lakes, maybe leave that adventure for another weekend! Side note, my bear spray accidentally discharged while hiking to the peak spraying my thigh through my pants. Had to administer a little first aid. It burned for a good hour! At least now we know it works! We had a great time and enjoyed getting out and about once again. Hope everyone enjoys the pictures and is doing well. Less then two weeks from today we'll be back in Boise! We cant wait. Take care.
