Chinns Lake
My post up above where I went snow wheeling to the lake in December with my buddy and our dogs we were trying to get to this lake. I don't think I would have made it even if we didn't turn around. It's not hard when it's dry, but the snow would have hid some big rocks and deep ruts.
This trip was last minute- literally. Just got bored sitting around the house and decided to pack up and go.
A little bit of snow blocked the trail. I hiked out to make sure this was the trail and snapped this quick pic on the way back.
Once at the lower of the 2 lakes is an old cabin:
We found this snow bank and the kids had a blast sliding down it:
The puppy even got in on the fun:
He would climb part way up on his own and slide down, so we took him all the way up.
On the way to the upper lake is another stream crossing:
This would make a great place to camp. It is so secluded:
There were a bunch of Columbines (the state flower):
On our last stop to explore, the 12 week old Golden Retriever had enough and stayed in the truck:
