Mohawk Lake Hike

The hike to Upper Mohawk Lake was a repeat hike from a couple years ago but it was a hike that we were all anxious to repeat.

This is the view as you climb up the trail of Upper Mohawk Lake.  If you look closely you can see the lake coming into view at eye level.  Such an awesome feeling to reach this lake after hiking uphill for a long time.

Photo below is another view of the lake as you come up the trail.
