So we went to Plan B (if you know us and vacations, we are experts on Plan Bs). We elected to drive the road to the west, stop wherever we wanted and take the day doing that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We decided to hike Avalanche Lake Trail. We have discovered we are &#8220;strolling hikers&#8221;. We enjoy the journey on a trail and aren&#8217;t the type who have to conquer the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesimplehouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2882.heic\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesimplehouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_2882.heic?w=525\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3327\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Avalanche Lake and Avalanche Falls<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After the hike, we were careful to stay in the boundaries of the park, so we started working our way back to the east.
