Lake of the Angels in December

During winter, a hike to Lake of the Angels can be as satisfying as it is exhilarating.

Road closures, mud slides, trail washouts, and multiple creek fordings add challenges to be overcome and mastered.

Ron, Mike, Cheryl, and myself (Paul W.) experienced these conditions wrought by Mother Nature; we survived nearly unscathed with only one unanticipated trail cartwheel, multiple unexpected "sit-downs", and a blown-out knee.
