The Hike
Travis, Jason, Saundra, Jill and I all hiked up to Colchuck Lake for a couple of day's. Travis and I were hoping to climb Dragontail Peak but things didn't really go as planned for us.

A beautiful little stream on the hike to the lake.
After reaching the lake; Travis, Jason and I all jumped in to cool off and wait for Saundra and Jill. They showed up a little bit later and we all sat around in the sun and enjoyed the solitude. We hiked around to the other side of the lake and found a nice camping spot right under Dragontail Peak.
