This is a nice easy hike, with a rewarding destination!
Barclay Lake and views of Baring Mountain greet you after a little over 2 miles of walking and 225 feet of elevation gain. The drive up the forest road is beautiful as well. We encountered a fairly full parking area when we arrived at 11:30am on a Thursday. The trail was in great shape and the weather was mild.

My kids have some favorite things along this trail. This hollow log for starters. I think we have 3 consecutive years worth of pictures in it! :)
This bridge is a great place for racing sticks or pieces of bark down the creek.
They get their exercise lifting all these heavy rocks along the trail. ;-)
Climbing on all kind of logs and stumps.
Here are my flower and fungus pictures:

| I think this is Merchant Peak - peeking out of the clouds. |

| I just had to take a picture of this perfectly formed capital A. |
I snapped a picture of this butterfly while we were waiting to start hiking. It held nice and still for me!
Happy trails.
