A Day Hike to Eagle Lake






Today we went on a day hike to Eagle Lake (#7 in "best easy day hikes Lake Tahoe" -at the house). What a beautiful way to spend the day. It was just spectacular. We hiked 2 miles total (elevation gain: 400 feet). The girls all did wonderfully. O is our little billy goat. She is so sure footed....and fast. I could barely keep up with her. Her and C were our leaders. Little T had it made. She was in the Baby Bjorn. What a way to hike.

The reward for a tough 1 mile hike up the trail was just spectacular! What a beutiful little lake. Tucked in the mountain. The only way to ge to it was hike. There is no beach, however, we sat and enjoyed the beautiful view from a tree stump and granite slab. Putting our feet in the water to cool off after our long hike in.

The girls were all tired on the hike back but did great, not one complaint the entire mile back to the car. Little T fell asleep on the hike back and the other three fell asleep in the car.

What a perfect day.
