Hiking Mirror Lake and Doughnut Falls

We decided to go hiking one day in late June. Lydia unfortunately was gone at her dad's. We decided to do an easier hike, Mirror Lake.

The lake was absolutely overflowing. I had never seen it so full.

The path was covered with puddles. The air smelled so fresh and clean.

We were also surprised to find big drifts of snow covering out path.

It made using the stroller quite interesting. If we had known we would have used the baby carrier.

If the water had been any higher the boardwalk probably would have been impassable.

We enjoyed our walk so much that we decided to drive further down the canyon to Doughnut Falls. We switched to the baby carrier first. We have found Violet does okay in it for an hour or so and then she starts to protest.

Adelle loved all the rushing streams. I made sure to keep a close eye on her.

Since the water levels were so high we weren't able to make it to the falls. The way was completely blocked by water. But it was still a beautiful hike.

There is something amazing to venturing out into nature, especially with my family.
