The pace will be easy, with stops for taking photos and enjoying the gorgeous scenery. We will go around the lake twice, to make it a total of 1 mile. Hopefully we will have clear weather, which would allow for some nice mountain views. I will probably be carrying my 15 month old daughter in my pack.
