We ALMOST went canoeing too...until we realized hiking a canoe DOWN to the Lake was nearly impossible. And we probably would have left it there if we would have had to hike it back UP to our van.
But, with or without the canoe, this has made our top most beautiful mountain location so far.
Lots of kid photos by the water. Can you tell we are BIG water fans?
Cora wasn't quite as good as the rest of us at maneuvering the sandy mountain terrain, so she kicked back with her sparkling water.
The kids doing some minor mountain excavating. After wading around in the water, we came out covered in gold dust!
This is where we were having one of our don't look down moments. You can see Boulder Creek gushing through the valley.
Just can't resist a train along the hillside.
And this is what happens after a mountain excursion...times two.
