Coldwater Lake with extras

Spent the day out at Coldwater Lake yesterday. It was not our original destination however. We had planned to hike into Coldwater Peak and beyond if possible but ran into snow/snow drifts that bordered on unsafe and we turned around and just did the loop around Coldwater lake instead. It was our first lake loop and had a good time regardless of the unanticipated detour. We did find a cool relic that I hadn't seen before. A few hundred feet down the hill from the logging equipment, was a old truck left behind from the blast. Always fun to find/see something new!

There were 4 other cars at the Hummocks trail head when we arrived but only ran into one person all morning until we got down to the lower lake trail. Once on the lower lake trail, we ran into a few groups of people who had came in from the coldwater lake parking side.

The forecast was warmer than anticipated and the sun blazed down on us the entire day. Go figure it was the one time I did not have my sunscreen in my pack. note to self, my burned face and arms request that you remember the sunscreen next time.
