Brainard Lake Hike - Part 2 of 2

After about an hour and a half to two hours, we found a nice boulder field where we stopped to eat lunch.  There was quite a bit of snow there, as well, but we found some dry patches.  Here is Gavin and Tara enjoying the rays a bit.  We decided that this was a good half-way point and we might as well turn around.

We promised to let them get into the lake a bit on the way back if they were still interested.  There was this large rock that people were laying on, so they headed on out.  They water was icy cold so they weren't too motivated to come back once they got out there.

One final picture to capture the view and the area.  It is truly a beautiful place that we are able to call home.  It certainly makes for a great trip in the middle of summer when you are smoking hot down in the flat land.
