The next morning we were still sore, but not immobile ... and we knew if we didn't get to moving we'd be stiff all day. However, we decided just to walk to a few local places rather than taking trails. The workers at the B&B thought we were nuts to not take our car.
They have 8 to 10 hour inner-tube trips they take down this lazy river. I'd last 2 seconds in that cold water ... tube or not.
Crystal clear water.
Echo Lake is a state park about a mile from the B&B and offers tremendous reflective views of the surrounding scenery.
A panoramic view of the entire lake.
Continuing on up the road you come closer to the cliffs above the lake.
I almost missed it in the above pic, but as I stared closer at the rocks I saw a climber I was able to zoom in on.
Not sure about that "What the hell am I supposed to do now?" look on his face.
Now, here's the part where we cheated. The road continues on up the mountain until it gets to the top of those cliffs. We started walking a little ways but both of our legs were screaming at us to be more reasonable. So we walked back into town, ate some lunch, took a nap, and then drove up to the top of the cliffs.
This is the view of Echo Lake from the top.
Until next time, keep your forehead dry.
