Iron Bog

We headed back out just after a few days from returning home over 4th of July weekend to Iron Bog Lake. It was really close to where we were last week. This hike is on my top three favorites I have ever done. It was absolutely beautiful. We went up Friday night, enjoyed the sunset, and camped a few miles from the trail head. 
This was our camp spot right by the river.
 The hike up to Iron Bog Lake was quite steep! It was only a little over 1.5 miles though which made it ok. haha. I also love a challenge. It made the final destination even more worth it.
 Alan did some fishing and of course Huck was right by his side. Even if he had to be swimming the whole time.
 Iron Bog Lake wasn't the stop for us. You can actually continue another mile up to a lake called Fisherman's lake. On the way, there were two spectacular little ponds. I couldn't believe how beautiful this hike was. So much to see.
 This is Fisherman's lake. It was even more beautiful than Iron Bog lake. Super clear. Huck and Alan fished and even took a dip in the water. COLD water. NO thank you for me!
 We've driven by this little restaurant in Arco called Pickles Place several times and Alan is always saying how much he wanted to try it out. So we did made his dreams come true (hehe) after our long and amazing day hiking. It was the perfect way to end a great day. The food and service was fantastic and we LOVED the atmosphere. Very small town vibe.
Another fun, successful weekend in the books for the Walker family.

PS today is my sweethearts birthday. Happy Birthday to my love Alan!!!

xoxo
