My fiance and I went up to Lake Isabelle in the Indian Peaks for a leisurely hike (about 7 miles, but not much elevation gain or loss)- mostly to get the hell out of the 100 degree heat in Denver. This is a well-traveled trail on the weekends, but luckily most people wussed out and didn't go all the way up to Lake Isabelle. When we got up there, we had our own little area to play. I think I've posted pics like this before, but my black lab Yoshi loves jumping off big boulders into the lakes we hike to- so much so, that he shakes and whines when we make him stop. On to the pics:
Heading up to the lake on the spur trail:
Pretty cool view back down over Long Lake:
Yoshi loves hucking his meat off 10' rocks into the water. He usually goes 2-3 feet under and then pops right up for the ball:
Always nice and relaxed in the air:
Hey dad, can you get the ball for us?
On the way out- one more look at Lake Isabelle:
