Sawtooths Day 3

 Our last day in this area we woke up to a warmer morning. We packed up camp and loaded the car. We wanted to do one last hike on the way home. We decided to hike Alice Lake. It was an amazing hike. Again not a lot of elevation gain. We started next to a beautiful lake and then ended at a lake as well. This trail was pretty crowded. There were lots of hikers and backpackers. It is such a beautiful area.

The hike was very flat the first few miles as we hiked parallel to the lake. Once we climbed up above the lake there were a few switchbacks. The views were amazing the entire way. The weather was great as well! 

Moki had to be on leash on all the trails. That was super an

noying but we survived. This hike had a bunch of river crossings and so I let her cross those on her own. My hands were so sore from holding the leash for three days straight. Eventually I let her off leash and had her walk between me and Amber. She did great and stayed on the trail between us the entire time. 

Alice Lake was gorgeous. the mountains in the background made for such a beautiful place.





We stopped and had lunch at the lake before we headed back to the car. Moki did a little swimming but not much. I think she was worn out:) One selfie on the way back down.

This hike was 11.17 miles and we gained 1,611ft of elevation. It took us 5 hours with our lunch stop. It was a great morning hike before we started the 6+ hour drive back home.

 On the way home we stopped in Twin falls to see the water fall. I have seen so many pictures and so has Amber, we decided we had the time to check it out in person. It was a low water day. Meaning not as much water was coming over the falls. It was still really pretty.

It was great to have a little pit stop and walk around for a little bit. It broke up the driving quite nicely.

 We got back to Provo around 11pm, I think. It was late but it was a great day. We got in some exercise, saw some great things, and made it home before Sunday! This was a fun trip and I would love to go back sometime. the only lame thing was that Amber and I are not in a single picture together. SO DUMB!
