Our second hike of the day was to Avalanche Lake. They were doing construction near the trailhead and we like to never found a parking space because they had it all screwed up. It was a nice hike. When we got to the lake we just set there and enjoyed it for a while. The last shot of the water coming down the mountain is not a good shot but I still wanted to show it since I love seeing water flowing down a mountain. When we got back to the car I was kind of pooped....between this trail and the Hidden Lake trail we had hiked almost 8 miles. This was probably not a good way to start out but we survived it.

Two hikes in one day. What were you thinking!! :)
I fully understand needing to use your time wisely in this beautiful place. I just would not have survived that many miles.
When we travel the WV Turnpike on a heavy rainy day in winter when the trees are bare I love looking into the woods and watching the water come down the mountains.
That's a lot miles to cover on foot,but the scenery is so gorgeous.
I'm impressed with you and Patti for taking two hikes on your first day. This hike was certainly to a pretty site.
Wow---that is a heck of a lot of hiking in one day... Not sure I'd make it THAT far anymore... Actually the longest hike I ever took was several years ago --and that was 9 miles... Most of the time, I'm happy with 2-3 miles TOTAL.
Beautiful photos.

Hiking into beautiful areas is one of the best kinds of tired there is!
