We hiked on Friday on the White Pine Trail- a favorite. Coral wimped out due to a pulled muscle and stayed home.
Diana was with us Friday and stayed over so she and Kevin and I could go further along the trail into Red Pine Canyon and up to the Lower Red Pine Lake.
It was a strenuous climb with significant snow fields as we got toward the top. The gain in elevation is over 2,000ft with the lake sitting at about 9620ft.
The other-worldly blue-green of the lake and the surrounding scenery were SO worth the effort. Kevin and I are making plans to come up here overnight sometime soon. You can't see it, but the Hotel/Spa/Gourmet Restaurant is just on the other side- JK!!! We are talking serious roughing it.Kevin was very amusing as we came down the mountain, through the snow.
