Palisades: Upper & Lower

August 6, 2011 was the first time I hiked to the Palisades.

That's really a crazy thing, when you think about it, because I've lived in SE Idaho for 5 years now, and I totally love hiking. I'm not quite sure how I seemed to avoid it for so long.

For, you see, the Palisades (upper and lower lakes) are BEAUTIFUL!

GORGEOUS!

Lower Palisades

Along the way
(the water is so dang clear!)

Wild flowers

More wild flowers

Even more wild flowers

Oh. So. Lovely.

Upper Palisades

Oh yeah: proof that I was there...

As it turns out, I really like the Palisades (of course I do!). I think I'll have to go back one day...

The last time I hiked this we saw 8 moose. 8! I'm pretty sure one of them had it out to get me. I don't really like moose anymore....

I'm glad you liked the hike :)

Hey Gina, we have a cabin in good old Alpine, WY and swim in the Palisades ALL the time! It is very gorgeous!
