Upper Red Pine Lake



Upper Red Pine





Boulder Field



God blessed us with a challenging hike today.   Light snow covered the ground above Lower Red Pine.  It was cloudy, sunny, light rain, light sleet, icy wind, sometimes warm and full of adventure. 

A great day to praise God, fellowship together and even pray.
