Devil's Lake

A day spent hiking to Devil's Doorway


Sometimes nature blows my mind, and last weekend was one of those times. I've been to Devil's Lake once before — a quick drive-through one Thanksgiving weekend when the whole lake was snowed over. 

Well the view was a million times better on a warm end-of-summer day (go figure!). Our group started hiking around noon and were out for a solid four hours, mainly because we got a little lost. The trails are not expertly marked at Devil's Lake, but we didn't mind. This is a place where getting turned around isn't a bad thing. 

We started hiking up the East Bluff trail — so many bluff photo ops! 




Then we headed for Devil's Doorway and spied stunning views.



An eagle even photo-bombed Adam.


We finally found the Doorway! Majestic, ominous, a must-see. 


The day ended with taco dip, Oreos, and a sunset by the lake.


Nature, it's been a pleasure! Let's do it again next summer.
