Lake Mary, Martha and Dog

Oh How I love this trail! The first time I went I was snow shoeing when I was about 16 and thought it the most miserable thing in the world. BUT I have been dying to go back ever since, but I never knew where it was till a few years ago. we actually went up last year, in the summer. I just loved it!! It was definitely on my to do list for this summer. So today was the chosen day. We planned on going to Lake Mary but I kind of wanted to go on to Lake Martha and possibly Lake Catherine. So I said before we headed out if anyone was interested I would love to go on.

So after we had made it to Lake Mary we had our snacks/lunches and I asked if anyone wanted to go on. I had a few that did so we went on to Lake Martha. The hike was just beautiful and very easy. It said it was about a half a mile but I'm not sure it was really that far.
As we came upon it Wendy said "there's a moose!!" YAY!!! I love moose!! I think think they are so majestic!! I think it was a young bull or cow because it had no antlers and it wasn't very big, It was by itself unless mama was hiding.

Lake Martha with the awesome moose!

No one wanted to go on to Lake Catherine so we headed back to Lake Mary and caught up with our group that was just leaving. We started walking back and took a little detour to Dog Lake which was a tiny little thing!

I just love our weekly hikes!! I love to be out and take advantage of this beautiful place we have so close to us!! I think I say that every post don't I? I'm gonna look for snowshoes this winter. I really want to go back in the winter!!


I am so proud of my mom for making this hike!! She has been on a few of our easy hikes and although this is categorized as easy it really isn't it is an almost 800 foot elevation climb in 1 mile. She made it!!! We had a good sized group today!! My mom, dad, My sister Wendy and her boys, Wesley, Daniel and Justin, my sister Bridgette and her kids, Tommy, Adam, Katrina, Kyle and Caleb, My friend Debbie and two of her kids, Ellie and Ian and then me and my four kids.
