This is Part 2 of my Labor Day backpacking trip to Snowshoe Lake. Part 1 is over here.
Our plan to make sure we checked out above the lake before heading out was a great one. It was simply gorgeous up there! After playing on some of the big boulders, we headed back to the lake, packed up and headed for the car. We made good time heading back out (except for that one point where we lost the trail, ended up in a bit of a swamp and had to resort to boulder hopping along the river for awhile before scrambling back up the hill to find the trail).





We really enjoyed our trip, it reminded me how much I love backpacking. We haven’t been nearly often enough and I look forward to doing more soon!

Beautiful! I especially love Sprocket’s face in the “hiking buddies” picture 😉
He’s such a big goober. Seriously. That dog… 🙂
