Lake Blanche

In August, we hiked up to Lake Blanche in Big Cottonwood Canyon with my dad to prepare for our upcoming ascent to King's Peak. 

The last time Will and I ventured on this trail was during snowshoeing in a blizzard a couple of years earlier. Needless to say, Will enjoyed this trip much better. 

This time Will could actually see the lake instead of me pointing to him and saying amid the fog, "This is where the lake should be," Will was much more impressed this time around. Dromedary Peak is right above the lake.  

I couldn't resist adding another shot because it's so great to see the reflection of the mountain in the lake.

Cole is happy after his feeding. There is nothing more comfortable than nursing on a rock. 

We did it! The hike up to King's Peak wasn't nearly as steep or strenuous.
