First of all, it's ridiculous that there two very similar locations - Rattlesnake Ledge Trail and Rattlesnake Ridge. Matt and I had never been, so we went to Rattlesnake Ridge (which is what everyone calls it). However, Chelsie and Mandy were at Rattlesnake Ledge Trail! BOO!
After that fiasco, we finally found Chelsie and Mandy, and it was smooth sailing from then. The hike was pretty steep, but not too long or difficult. Our pups made it to the top just fine! Thankfully we started in the morning, so when we were inclining it wasn't too hot. By the time we got back to the bottom of the trail, the parking lots were overflowing (that's an understatement) and it turned out to be a fully sunny day in the mid-80s. We explored the lake area for a while, and it was beautiful!
I think easy dog hikes will be our summer thing this year. And I think that I'll need some legit hiking shoes, because Nikes were not cutting it. LOL. I need ankle support... what an old fart!
Much needed break
The view
Sean brought Walla over when we got home, and we all enjoyed the sunshine from our backyard. We brought out the kiddie pool for the puppies, but they weren't interested. Instead, we ended up standing in the kiddie pool to cool our toesies, LOL.
I'm so excited for summer! And I can't wait for our next hike. I'm thinking we may try Tiger Mountain next? Perhaps I should get poles too. =)
