We headed up to the hills to do something different – my friends had been to Heart Lake a few weeks before and they told me that it was amazing up there. The hike isn’t short, but at least there’s not a lot of vert… What the hell, we decided to try it. 

Holy crap. They said the trail was gorgeous, and they weren’t wrong. Talk about mind-numbingly beautiful. That seems to be a theme in my life lately… But that’s another story for another time.  

In any case, the hike was amazing. It was easy, not too climb-y on a nice wide trail, and there were three or four beautiful alpine lakes along the way.  Heart Lake itself was also awesome, aptly named since it’s the shape of a heart.

We sat ourselves down by the lake, had a snack, and watched the clouds go by for a bit. Eventually, we got up and started the walk back down. We stopped at the smaller lakes and took some pictures, and listened to the sound of the creek running next to the trail.

We made it back to the car without incident and headed home. Turned out to be quite a pleasant day!
