When were on the peninsula, we took the kids hiking up to Lena Lake. We stopped for a picnic lunch, ran into a herd of elk, and fished up at Lena Lake. It was divine. It was also a very long hike. The guidebook said it was 6 miles roundtrip, but after we hiked back down and studied the most updated map, we realized it was a little over 7.5. Wow. Amazing, because Parks did it all except for the last quarter of a mile. He needed a little encouragement from time to time, but this kid LOVES being outdoors, so he was in his element and relishing every creek we crossed, every deer we spotted, and every waterfall we came upon. And then I took way to many pictures (what's new?).
We found an old pump well to fill our waterbottles. So fun!

Sleepy backpack girl is a sure sign of a good hike.
