Pine Creek Lake hike, Livingston, MT pt. 1

Howdee all,

This past Saturday we hiked Pine Creek Lake. Jeff and I and Sickstas family did this hike a few years back on July.  I remembered it as being a difficult hike.

There are three lakes on this hike.

Charlene and I didn't make it to the last two lakes  the last time we were here..Jeff and Tom went without us while we played with the kids in the snow.

This time around I was determined to make it to the top.

Jennifer, joins us for the hike.

She and husband Jimmy will travel with us for the next two weeks, in their motorhome. Jennifer is a hiker and will join us on our hikes, Jimmy loves to fish and Jeff will split his time between hiking and fishing.

Crossing the bridge below the fallsThe hike is pretty much up the whole way.

This photo below looks back towards the valley we came from. Taking a much needed lunch break.

One way to the third lake is five miles.  So we have more hills to climb….Looking back down the trail ….. I think this is the one time we were able to hike down….and it didn't last long We finally made it to the first lake…no snow…See the waterfall?

The second lake feeds the falls…so we need to hike up more….
