A quick scouting outing for a hike later in the month with family. When the colors come out, back in we will go!

While a predominantly forest hike is not at the top of our hike favorites we still enjoyed Thomas Lake Trail. At 4.2 miles and a scant 227' elevation gain it was an easy hike. As a puddle jump trail, the small lakes found here, one after another, gives this hike more depth than forest alone. Plus the forest thins here and there and pleasantly opens to meadows a time or two.

It was fun to imagine what the pretty walk will look like all dressed up in fall color. Pretty good we're thinkin'! SO...see ya!
