Duffy Lake 27 Sept 2014

Katrina and I arrived at Duffy Lake TH around 11am and were greeted by camp robber jays, backpackers and horses.  There were several cars in the lot, but we pretty much had the trail to ourselves.  The plan was to load up our backpacks and see how they fit us as we hiked the 7 mile RT trail to Duffy Lake.  The grade was pretty easy going which was very nice.  We had a few issues (like I need a smaller sized pack) but overall, we did it and that is exciting to know!  The day was brisk and beautiful, fall colors were ramping up and the sky was filled with beautiful clouds.  Duffy lake and the surrounding area will be a nice place to return to when we actually have all our equipment!
