Our first hike of summer 2015! 🙂 We wanted to go for a little hike on our Monday off of work and ended up down at Lake Cushman to hike the river trail.  Our original plan was to do the Wagon Wheel Lake hike, but it’s steep and I just wasn’t feeling it… I like the river trail.  It’s relaxing. We even got some ice cream on the way back home.
