A nice cold clear Saturday hike with some excellent partners makes for a perfect outing. You don't know how good hot soup tastes until you have some with a breeze blowing on you at 25 degrees. It's cool when your hiking partner thinks of everything in advance. Started out a little icy and got slicker the further you went. Great views of frozen waterfalls. Lots of snow at the lake made for some great photos. Lake was almost all the way frozen. Looked like some signs of campers. Would be an excellent place for a winter camp. Surrounded by some pretty cool peaks, could make for some climbing projects on an overnighter. The hike down was even slicker than going up. Made for a few slips and slides. One young guy just went skiing right past us, what great balance. Everyone was smiling on the trail. I guess that's what it's all about. Having a great time!
