These two pictures are a view of Hume Lake as seen from the “Long Meadow to Huckleberry Meadow” trail. The point of view is looking from west to east, with the dam being at the farthest visible edge of the lake. The distance between the two meadows is only about 2 miles, but I’m guessing it’s a gain of over 1000 feet elevation.

The first time I ascended this trail I had set out looking for new mountain bike trails. While portions of the trail were technically rideable, I mostly pushed and sometimes carried my bike. Once I reached Huckleberry, I followed a fire road back to Hume which provided me with an enjoyable 6 mile downhill ride.

The second time I ventured up this trail I brought my wife and my camera. These two proved to be much more enjoyable companions than my bike.

    The damn WHAT being at the farthest visible edge of the lake? Oh oh oh, okay–the DAM being there. I understand now. (Although it’s not nearly as intriguing.)

    Nice shot, BTW, the lake framed in the pine boughs, and the snaggly dead limbs pointing downward as if to say, “This way to the lake!”
