We even rode across one but it had an icy crust layer so the horses slipped around a bit. It was so fun once we were at the campsite - the trip up and back was exhausting for sure....that should happen only once in a lifetime right??? Let's hope! PS - we did find out that you are not supposed to take your horses into Green Lake - it's pristine. You will also get a fine per horse for going in. However, nobody seemed to mind us taking the horses into Three Creeks Lake where swimmers and boaters can go. We just made sure we were far enough down from people that we didn't bother anyone. And we did go pretty deep, ALMOST swimming for a couple of the horses! The saddles take a beating on that though and we were too lazy to unsaddle them! Oh, the water is VERY COLD so we didn't stay in too long! It was funny to see patches of snow in the middle of July!

The lake looked so inviting did you go in deep with the horses? I would have loved that . Glad the flat tyre didn't cause any accident.Sounded like an exhausting but wonderful camping trip.Super pictures for framing.Jane. Fantastic to be that close to the snow in the middle of summer .
