We were lucky to get one of the few campsites available for a week, at the Avalanche Creek campground, and then headed off to its namesake: Avalanche Lake.
Avalanche Creek is aptly named...
...looking like an avalanche just happened. It was a very well-maintained trail, though, and had a lot of traffic on it, so for a while the going was pretty easy. We also found a couple of cute kids stuck in a tree along the way, and decided to bring them with us up to the lake.
Unfortunately the going got a little rough after we realised it wasn't the little 3/4th mile hike we had thought. But at least Sylvia still found things to smile about!
Finally, after much tribulation and soul-searching about why we started on this blasted hike, we made it! The views were pretty spectacular.
A kind stranger at the edge of the lake offered to take a family picture, and we couldn't turn her down.

Hey Debbie, It is fun to see what you and your family have been up to this summer. We have done a lot of camping ourselves this summer. With the economy going the way it is, that was our only vacation. The scenery in your pictures is beautiful. Did you visit good old Rexburg?
What fun to see pictures from your summer trip! I really like the family photo in front of the beautiful lake (too bad Noel is hiding though). Thank you for posting!
