Lake Dorothy - Dorothy Lake 3.8 miles. 800 ele

800 feet of elevation gain doesn't seem like much.  It is when it's squished into a very short distance consisting of stairs.  A lot of stairs. 

Lake Dorothy, according to the website. Dorothy Lake according to the sign. I hiked here once before in the heat of summer several years ago. With Banda. As Im remembering this, I reached into my pocket and found one of her cookies. Funny thing, since I’ve worn this jacket several times since then. Never found the cookie before. She is always with me in her own way.

Sometimes the best part of a hike, is the aftermath. Coming home soaked to the bone. Sometimes limping. Hot shower. PJ’s. Pigging out and looking at pictures. That is complete contentment.
