Weekend Hike




With spring in the air on Saturday, we ventured out to hike Mineral Ridge on the east end of Lake Coeur d'Alene. The trail is a couple miles long with great views of the lake. One of the spurs we took off the main trail was aptly named elk trail, as we saw elk tracks and could definitely smell that they had recently been in the area. On the way back down from the ridge, we saw and then quickly felt the dark rain cloud lingering overhead. We quickly sped up to a slow jog in an attempt to get Karsten out of the rain, and boy am I feeling it in my legs today. As you can see in the picture, Karsten loved being our tour guide as she read a book and/or talked the whole way up to the ridge.
