We drove up to Trinity Lake which was about 14 miles from Featherville, Idaho. It was a typical Forest Service road. Gravel with lots of washboards and chug holes but it was pretty.
There were actually two lakes at the top, Little Trinity Lake and Big Trinity Lake. Neither one was really very large. They both were filled from run off from the melting snow in Spring. This is a picture of Little Trinity which we came to first. It was about 40F when I took the picture which is why you will see a misty fog rising from the lake. Remember you can click on the picture to enlarge it.
This is Big Trinity, I don’t know why but I didn’t see any fog on it.
When we got back down off the mountain we took the road to Rocky Bar, Idaho. Rocky Bar is an old mining town and there were no trespassing signs everywhere. All of the old buildings are privately owned. On the way over to the town we had a mother black bear with two cubs go across the road in front of us. I grabbed the camera and got a picture of one as they disappeared into the forest.
We had planned on staying another night at Doug’s Mother’s Place but after we got back to camp we decided about 4:30pm to head for Burley, Idaho Wal-Mart for the night. The trip to Burley was just under 150 miles. After leaving so late, it was getting dark when we pulled into the parking lot at Wal-mart.
