Discovery.....

Our destination was Sword Lake......a beautiful, crystal blue lake surrounded by granite and towering trees. Round trip was 6.6 miles....LOTS of hills which reaffirmed the fact that I am OUT of shape!!!!

One of the views we came across during our hike.....NOTHING in the world is better than sitting atop a mountain looking out at this! A few times we would sit and listen.....the most peaceful noises....birds chirping, bugs buzzing.....no people, no cars.....nothing!
