A Day Without the Kids!


And what do we do? A difficult hike that we couldn't possibly do with them! It was a strenuous hike that climbed 2500 feet in 2.5 miles but it was well worth it. Not only were the views along the entire trail gorgeous, but once we reached Red Alpine Lake we felt extremely fulfilled for the great efforts we exerted to get to the top. We had planned on hiking to the summit of a peak called the Pfeifferhorn, but Alice was just too exhausted to go any further so we enjoyed lunch and some leisure time exploring around the lake and enjoying its beauty. By the way, the water was WAY green, the pictures don't do the color justice.

No fair. How come we weren't invited?

The hike left from the White Pine trailhead up Little Cottonwood Canyon, and then you follow the Red Pine trail.
