Hiked up on the Mt Lola Trail. Today was really hot around 90 degrees. As I started out I thought to myself many times to turn around and do this on a cooler day but I don't give up easily. I'm glad I brought my water filter with because the 3 liters of water I brought with weren't enough, I had to filter an additional 2 liters. Along with the blazing heat the horse flies were horrendous and they were immune to my bug spray. There was only one small patch of snow I had to go around on the way up. A couple of minutes after getting to the summit I met a couple that were hiking up from White Rock Lake. We chatted for a couple of minutes and then I was off to North Mt Lola. Great panoramic views!
