HIKE AROUND CLEAR LAKE

Since Sundays are the only day we all of have off, we played hooky from our duties at church to get away and do something fun before summer comes to an end. Because of weather conditions around the state, we chose Clear Lake in the Cascades, forcasted to be in the mid 80's with a nice breeze. We headed up through Lebanon and Sweet Home arriving in time for a picnic lunch before starting out on the 5 mile plus hike around the lake.

Our first glimpse of the gorgeous turquoise water.

The colors are absolutely awesome, the turquoise and Sapphire blues sparkling like jewels!

You can see why they call it "Clear Lake"!

No motorized boats are allowed on the lake, so it's very peaceful and quiet as we walk around. You see a lot of row boats and canoes though especially as you get closer to the boat house. Next time that's how I'm going around!
