Pamilia Lake Hike

Megan and I went on a very nice hike on Thursday. We've been meaning to do a lot of hiking/camping while we're between jobs but that hasn't played out due to baby stuff and job searches/interviews.

We went to Pamilia Lake. It is a short hike but is very beautiful and the trail is very nice. Before we got to the trail head we got a nice view of Mt. Jefferson...


Here is the trail head...


After about a half a mile we started hiking in patches of snow...


The patches became more and more frequent until the last half mile which ended up being all snow. We arrived and got to see the beautiful lake...


...and a closer view of Mt. Jefferson...

Lake Elevation: 3884

Here is how to get a trail on to Google maps...
To get trail onto personal Google Maps site:
1.) Find trail using topo mode at www.gmap-pedometer.com.
2.) Mark trail in gmap-pedometer and export to GPX (instructions are on the left)
3.) If you just want the route and not the markers you must delete all the "name" tags in the new file.
4.) Now convert to kmz format using http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/
5.) In your personal google maps click on import and select the kmz file.

Oliver encountered snow for the first time on this hike - quite different from anything on Pohnpei. He hesitated to follow Andrew onto the snow the first time, but ended up loving it. He dug it, ate it, threw it, and just romped around in it. :o)
