Spring at Herman Lake (Almost)

Here are the photos I promised of our (failed) Herman Lake hike this spring. It was the middle of June so in my mind that's summer but according to the mountains it most definitely is not. Technically summer starts June 21st so I guess the mountains are right.

Here's Mr X knee deep in the snow. It was cold.

I was expecting loads of wildflowers to be blooming because the reviews online stated that's what we'd find on this hike. Not so much yet, but there were a few.

Luckily I had thought to bring a hoodie just in case it was a bit chilly. It still wasn't quite enough.

The coolest part of the hike during the springtime were the torrential rushes of water from the snow melt. Water was running everywhere.
