July 9, 2009 Lake McDonald, Rocky Point

Last night... smores!!!!

This morning we took in a lovely short hike along the northwest shore of Lake McDonald to Rocky Point. Most of it was, like yesterday's hike, through forest which was burned during the 2003 fire. Unlike yesterday, however, this moist area is rich with life and filled with new growth. We saw some varieties of wildfowers we've never seen before and the fireweed was some of the most vividly-colored we ever seen.

We came to a junction and decided to turn back to the car while the children were still being successful. It turned out to be a great choice as the sky opened with steady rain literally the minute we reached the car.

We all had a delicious dinner at the Lake McDonald Lodge, which was followed by a short hike on the John's Lake Trail over to McDonald Creek.
