Dirk Pettitt and I have been talking about doing a hike for quite some time and today we did. We met at the Exit 22 Park and Ride a bit before 5:30 am and were on the Ira Spring Trail, heading towards Mason Lake, by about 6:10. We beat the heat and saw no one else the entire time up to the lake.
If Dirk is taking in the view in the photo above, what is the view?
We had a great time and will do another hike when we can get it planned. It was just a perfect day and beating the heat on the way up is a huge plus. Far less mess with sweaty clothes and the fear of cramps later on.
And Mason Lake, as always, was beautiful.
