On a sunny april day, we decided to take the pups and bike back to the Serenity Falls Hut
Starting off down the lakeside trail
Keeping up with the herd. My sister and a friend came with us until we reached the far shore of the lake, then turned around. We continued on to Serenity Falls.
The pass leading to the Wall-Street Glacier and Peter's Creek Valley
The Klute luxuriously soaking in one of her many mud-spas along the way.
Coincidence??? maybe!

That ain't water in that nalgene bottle!
Chug! Chug! Chug!
My mouth tastes like burning....
Good times
