Let's enjoy Fall's warm colors at Mirror lake on the weekend of Sept 12-14!
I have some warm camping gear (sleeping bag + pad + tent) to share with those who don't have. I've also everything to organize the campfire-side dinner, although I recommend you bring your favorite camping food.
This is an opportunity to do several outdoor activities: this reservoir is a flow-through mtn lake, so there will likely be lots of trout to catch and I'll be bringing a couple fishing rods ready-to-use with with tackle and all.
There are several mountain peaks to hike in the area, most notably Fitzpatrick peak (Easy mode, cat-1 hiking trail, even MTB-able) or Emma Burr (for those who want a bit of climbing challenge).
The plan is such:
by Friday: figure out who's carpooling with whom. Mirror Lake has a proper gravel road leading to it, so any car would be fine to get there. Some people might choose to head to Mirror Lake campground Friday afternoon.
Saturday: the main group gets picked up by those of us driving Sat. morning, and heads out.
Saturday by around 10:00am everyone gathers at the lake. There might be a light hike, but mostly it's an afternoon of fishing, maybe quick swims in the clean (but cold!) lake, and an evening of campfire stories.
Sunday: wake up around 7-8am and do a hike to Fitzpatrick peak. Fitzpatrick peak is just a cat-1 hike, no special climbing skills needed. The views will be gorgeous. Head back to the campground, pack up and head back to town early afternoon.
Reach out 617 584 0074 so I can organize the carpooling.
Let me know:

  1. Would you like to head out Friday afternoon, or Saturday morning?
  2. Would you need any camping gear shared with you?
  3. Would you prefer to drive yourself, or carpool with someone? (I can take up to 3 ppl, with large backpacks, in my SUV)
