Emigrant Wilderness - Lana's first backpacking adventure!


Neil, Lana, and our friend-couple Doron and Jaclyn went to the Emigrant Wilderness June 12-14 for an EASY 2.5 mile hike in to a great camping spot - redundantly named Camp Lake. Lana had a wild time picking up pinecones and small flowers. Although she had a little bit of trouble sleeping at night and therefore so did Neil and I - she was always very happy and mysteriously well-rested in the morning!

We did a little day hike (of about a mile) over to Bear Lake and Doron did his usual jump into freezing cold lake water. We heard him hooting and hollering from a safe distance away so we would not get wet or see anything we didn't want to see!

Here's Neil and Lana in Lana's backpack. She's quite happy in it as it has some great suspension!
