Dog Lake


Last Saturday I went with a couple of friends, Scott and Jeff, on a run up to Dog Lake. The trailhead is at the end of the road up Millcreek Cyn. Beautiful, tree-covered run. The trail was so well used that it looked like we were running on a path in a city park. We started just after dawn and got to the lake just over an hour later. On the way up we saw this moose about twenty yards off the trail. She was still there on the way down, but this time we saw the calf with her. Cool!! You don't see this stuff in our neighborhood. Also on the way down we must have passed about 75 hikers and almost all of them had a dog or dogs with them. We started to feel left out. Noticing the many, many dogs, made us more careful of our foot placement:)
