Granite Lake

 July 27 2018,
My family and I went on a 4 mile hike up a mountain in Packwood Washington. The terrain was very rocky and steep but it was lots of fun. The weather was nice, but there were a lot of annoying bugs. There were flies the size of quarters! We also saw some lizards, pretty birds, exotic frogs, and little mice. I had to carry a big hiking bag up, my dad carried my sister, my mom carried the bag with water and food, and my brother just did whatever. I loved it because everything so green and pretty.

The best part of the hike was by far the top. At the end of the hike there was beautiful Granite Lake surrounded by trees and jagged mountain tops. When we got there we ate and then went swimming. The water actually wasn't cold, it was like a nice swimming pool.  

It was lots of fun, got some exercise out of it, so that's always a positive.☺️More posts to come, hoping to do another photography post some time soon. 

Thanks for reading! Hope you have great rest of your day!
