Dog Lake via Butler Fork
Rating: 🌲🌲🌲🌲
Length: 5.3 miles. Elevation Gain: 1811 Feet. Date Hiked: June 5, 2021
The above picture is the only time I have actually seen Dog Lake look somewhat clear. Usually, it looks like a mud puddle. This was a pleasant surprise. Four out of five trees. It was a nice hike. I am not in ideal hiking shape so I couldn't give it a five tree rating.
We arrived at our hiking trailhead in the late afternoon. From the trailhead, we had never gone straight up to the lake. But, there's a first time for everything. So, instead of our usual loop, we hiked straight up to the lake. Leti motored right along. I huffed and puffed all the way up.
The canyon was super pretty here.
Me at the lake. I was still a little shocked that the lake was somewhat clear.
Leti looking thrilled at the lake.
A nice patch of quakies on the way to the lake.
This was a very pleasant hike. It was a quick five miles, but I had been needing a little time in the mountains. Everything was green and beautiful still. I am hoping this is a vision of things to come. The drought is quite serious, but I hope and pray for rain! It was another beautiful day in the mountains!
