Verbatim, I read this comment on a picture of the Tetons: "This is on my bucketlist! I think this is the most beautiful place in the USA. Hope I live long enough to go there..."

This was our favorite lake in the area we were in (not just because of the mountain goats family!). The shortest hike at 7.5 miles, but with 2,500' it packed a punch and was worth every step.

MOUNTAIN GOATS! We were sitting by the lake, which we had all to ourselves, wondering where all the mountain goats were. The landscape looked perfect for them. I decided to get up and look at taking pictures from a different angle and BOOM! A cute little family (mom, dad & baby)were munching away on the opposite side not far from the safety of the rocky peaks.

Before we left on this journey, I was craving for something different. I had worked hard and made choices to get where I thought my life should be. But something was missing.

We keep trying to challenge ourselves with hikes. We have nothing holding us back from taking our time and the entire day to enjoy the outdoors. We started this one thinking it would be our longest at over 18 miles but it ended up being 15.5 with 3,500' in gain. The destination an Alpine Lake in the Alps of Oregon.

So I have realized that most hiking posts are all about the destination. But when you do long hikes the miles inbetween can offer some amazing spots too.
