Mill D North Fork Trail to Dog Lake
Dog Lake from the Mill D North Fork trail. From here we walked around the lake and took photos from each direction.
The lake was just starting to melt so it was really slushy. (and so were my shoes and socks) This photo is looking back towards the Mill D North Fork trail.
This would be your view if you arrived at the lake from Millcreek Canyon on the Big Water trail.
Another side of the lake! Wishing I had my snowshoes.
