TWIN LAKES RESERVOIR

Today was our animal adventure hike up at Brighton.   We saw chip monks, squirrels, pot guts, birds, butterflies, and more.    God blessed us with a cool morning in the mountains.

CAMP NEVER ALONE

Outdoors with Jesus led the hikes for Camp Never Alone. 











We hiked to the Summit of BALD MOUNTIAN for a breathe taking lunch. Then we hiked around beautiful MIRROR LAKE.

CAMP NEVER ALONE was a singles camp that Mark Anderson organized at the BEAR RIVER CAMP in Wyoming.   The camp has places to set up tents or cabins to sleep in. We had nature walks seeing the sunset, campfires, water color class, fishing trips, and fun at the swimming hole.
This a Christian Camp that is located by the Mirror Lake Highway on the Wyoming/Utah border. 

One of the highlights of the camp was the hike to RUTH LAKE.   This is an easy hike with incredible scenery.
