We drove over to the Old Forge area of the Adirondacks to go hiking and decided to branch out from our traditional Bald Mountain Fire Tower hike (high reward for little effort). We decided to do the loop hike around Cascade Lake. It was a nice walk that was pretty level and Brie was able to hike some of it. When she asked to go into the pack though we were happy to put her in so we could actually put some miles on. Turns out it was a good thing that she wanted to ride in the pack, because it rained/drizzled on us for most of the hike and the trail was muddy. We would never have been able to do the whole thing if she had wanted to walk herself around since it was 5 1/2 miles in not the most optimal conditions. It still was great to get out and we only saw 2 other adventurous hikers (or were they just crazy and/or desperate-to-be-outside like us?) in that whole time and we had the waterfall to ourselves.
