An aging companion and smokey air turned what was supposed to be a 17.1 mile backpacking loop into a rather relaxing weekend fly fishing at Lake Harriette instead. Just 6.3 miles in and the true treasure of the area Lake Harriette sits teaming with Rainbow and Brook Trout. Upon arrival the scenery, lack of other campers, and my 13 year old dog all convinced me to abandon my hiking plans and stay. We enjoyed 3 blissful days at Harriette and left the way we hiked in. It was an amazingly restorative escape.

Hey thanks Rick! The pup is getting older so we do shorter miles these days. But the flip side is I get to bring more amenities. I even had a book for once! It was bliss.
