Colchuck Lake — Thursday, Oct. 11, 2018

I am not an experienced hiker by any means so this hike did pose a challenge for me at times but it was well worth it. This hike was absolutely gorgeous the entire way through from the streams of water and the wooden bridges to the impressive mountain views. The beginning of the hike is fairly easy up until about halfway through. Once you cross the second bridge and start ascending upward is where it become challenging because I am not as in shape as the 80 year old couple who had no trouble passing me. Although the last half of this hike was a struggle for me, the view at the top is well worth it. I am impressed by the amount of people who made this look easy, much respect for all of you. I hope to be to that point one day. Also, this is the perfect fall hike, the larches are absolutely gorgeous.
