One of the first wilderness horse trips Connie went on was up to Elk Lake.  This little lake is  a gorgeous gem and the trip up over Devils Hump to get there rewards one with awesome views.  It had been 6 years since Connie’s last visit and she had been requesting a return.reflecting on blessings..

Pictures don’t do justice to this beauty

The fish did not seem very hungry, but we did have a little luck and a lot of fun.

The views going over the pass are just breathtaking.

Although we planned to spend the day, the forecast was for possible thunderstorms in the afternoon. So when the clouds started getting thick, we gathered our gear up and hit the trail. Traveling over the pass in a thunderstorm was not something we wanted to experience.

I usually get a trip up to this lake every summer, but Connie hasn’t been able to join. I’m betting next year it will be on her agenda for sure.
