Fraser & Almond

Fraser and Almond near the end of the trail. By this time we were all tired but it had been a very enjoyable hike in beautiful mountains. Almond could hardly get into the car at the end of the walk she was so tired, but of course she had walked many more miles than us and swam quite a distance as well.

Lunch stop at Island lake.

Island Lake Hike in the Uintas Mountains

In the following photographs you will see several of the Lakes we went past and in one of them you will see Almond enjoying a swim. This was a really special day and the scenery was just fantastic.

Fraser, Almond and I went on a hike today to Island Lake in the Uintas Mountains. This was a spectacular walk at an average height of 10,000ft. The weather was glorious and the temperature was in the mid 50s even at 10,000ft. The hike went past 6 lakes and Almond decided to swim in them all.
