On Sunday, Sept. 5th we drove a short distance out of town to Fish Creek Falls. We had been to this same trail in 2009.
Renée walked up the paved route to the Falls and then back to the car to read and watch other hikers in the parking lot. It was a busy day there as the weather was beautiful and it was Labor Day weekend. Parking spots were at a premium!
Peter to the longer trail with the intention of getting to Long Lake. He tried this a year ago but only got as far as the upper falls. A local along the way suggested using the "Hike the Boat" for good places to hike and explore.
Peter followed the trail about 6+ miles to Long Lake Reservoir, a water source for the town of Steamboat Springs. He traveled through a marshy area and got his boots full of mud. Met mountain bikers along the way riding down the path either from Dumont Lake or from Buffalo Pass. Long hike, but happy he made it.
