As if running a race wasn't enough fun for the week, Ryan talked me into hiking to Lake Blanche on Saturday morning, July 7. We met up early Saturday morning at the mouth of big cottonwood canyon, with Jared, Annie and Matteo. We learned from our hike to Cecret Lake that if we let Nolan walk on the trail, it will take us twice as long to get to our destination. We used a backpack for this hike and it worked so much better!
The hike itself was beautiful and the whole way up you are hiking up the trail. The incline is immediate and I don't think any of us were prepared for how strenuous this hike is. It took us around 3 hours to get to the lake and every second was worth it! It was beautiful up there! Jared took his fishing pole and was able to fish for a bit. Me and Ryan were trying to get Nolan to take a nap but that wasn't happening. He was so tired, but wouldn't fall asleep. We ate our lunch up at the lake and began the trek back down. I would much rather go down the trail than up the trail. Going down went quickly, and we were ready to be down the mountain. It was fun to spend the day with family and Matteo. I was very glad that Nolan was a trooper and did so well in the backpack. He loved being in there and I was very glad he fell asleep on the way down for a little bit. We were exhausted when we got home everyone took a long nap!
