Jim and I went camping to Leavitt Lake for my birthday, fathers day and to beat the heat. We went on a Friday since I had it off for Juneteenth and stayed until Sunday. The lake is at about 9500 feet so it was in the mid-70's which felt great because it was over 100 at the cabin. But - we felt the elevation and felt a bit sluggish.
This location is dispersed camping so we picked a place that overlooked the beauty. This was our lunch spot the first day.
This is Leavitt Lake. We had a low snow year so there is not as much snow left as we have seen before. The altitude did not seem to slow down the dogs if there was something to do. But when we stopped, they were like slugs too!
There were a surprising amount of wildflowers for this early in the season. Lots of new ones that I had not seen before.
Fishing was good with bites with every cast.
We called Hops "Pigpen" because she was so disgusting from wallowing in the dirt.
Still loving our new tent. So sturdy and so easy to put up.
On the second day, we drove up even higher and stopped here for a picnic lunch.
The dogs stayed in the truck during our picnic - by this time their feet really hurt.

We took a selfie and then turned around and took another one for the opposite direction. It shows the cool terrain.
