Going back to the Independence Mine State Historical Park

The rain had shortened our visit on the 4th, so we decided to visit the Park again. There was another hike we wanted to do that would take us to a lake up on the mountain. Boy are we glad we did return and take that hike. It is about 45 minutes up one way and the lake was really cool. Not just from the snow on the banks of the lake but the views. We talked to a lady who was at the lake 10 days ago and there had been ice on the lake. I did take off my hiking boots and put my feet in the ice cold water. The reflection from the surrounding mountains on the lake were really something. This lake gets its water from the surrounding mountains and the snow melting. If you are ever in the area make sure you visit this lake.
