We wanted to hike to Avalanche Lake, but the road was closed just before the Trailhead and there was no parking. We turned around and decided to hike the St. Johns Lake loop, which takes you around McDonald Falls. It was a flat easy hike, so we went back, got the dog, and took her for a hike up Lion Mountain. Though we’d been there before, it’s a couple miles with slight elevation gain. The difference in the lake was significant vs. the last time we saw it.
