I failed to get a picture of the trailhead, oh well. We started at Ruth Lake Trailhead.
We went with Monte, Brian, Jackie, and Ross.
It was a wet morning.
The rain brought out the flowers lining the trail.
We passed some goats. I’m bringing these next trip!
Made it to Ruth Lake.
Eli gave me many flowers. I love this little boy!
It’s always fun to see water lilies.
Top of Ruth lake looking down.
We passed Liberty lake.
Coming down the boulders into Jewel lake.
2 miles to our camp site.
Just waiting at the bottom.
After we set up camp, the sun came out.
Paul did a little fishing.
Eli did a little fishing.
Monte did a little fishing.
Back at camp I didn’t get Jackie in her hammock, but she looked really comfortable. We need to pick one up for our next trip!
Making dinner. This made us laugh. The men making dinner with a mini kettle and tiny measuring cup. After carefully measuring out water, how much do you put in? Just dump the rest in! Ha!
The next morning we took a different route over the boulders. This way was a little easier than the way we came in, but it was still a tough climb. Look at that blue lake!
Note for next time. When we go into Jewel lake, stay to the left, or the middle trail. The middle trail leads down an easier path through the boulders 🙂
A little pond on the way back.
Saw this guy on the side of the road on the way home.
