Our July hike to Rachel Lake, about 40 min east of our place, was supposedly 8 miles round trip with an elevation gain of 1,900 ft. Will and I trekked about 3 miles in before we called it quits. The last mile will gain 1,200 ft! Finn and Nathan ascended another half grueling mile before turning around to meet us. We were swatting flies and mosquitoes every step of the way. If not for those damn bugs, we are sure we would’ve made it, or so we’d like to think..
