The falls are full, and the trail reports indicate most of the snow and ice is gone from the trail until you arrive at the lake. Some blowdowns are present; at least one was significant but passable.
We'll lunch at the lake, on "lunch rock" if available/safe.
My Style: Welcome & thanks for finding me here and sharing the outdoors. I thrive in nature and hope you do too! I love creating and leading hikes where we move at a good pace (with “joy stops”) while experiencing what hiking is all about – enjoying Nature’s offerings and surprises together. My primary role is to facilitate a safe experience physically and mentally, so I take that seriously. For me, the best hikes are those where we each contribute to the experience by sharing knowledge, humor, or quietly engaging.
I look forward to seeing you on the trail if this sounds like a fit for you!
My Expectations: 1) arrive personally prepared & conditioned, 2) adopt a visitor mindset, and 3) create harmonious vibes.
