Tuesday August 31st - We woke up early to catch the sunrise, at Rim Village. The smoke had cleared significantly from the night before, giving us a beautiful sunrise over the lake.
Sunrise from Rim Village.
Our breakfast view and then a game of Catan dice
After the sunrise we drove to the Cleetwood Cove hike down to the lake, which is the only lake access. The hike is around 1.1 mile each way although the uphill seemed much farther :) It took us 20 min to hike down and 40 min to hike up.
The hike had an elevation change of 700 ft so there were lots and lots of switchbacks
The water is the clearest in the world. You can see down to almost 150 ft
Finally getting close to the bottom
We jumped in from the dock (and had a Hobart & William Smith alum that took great pics as we jumped)
And it was a refreshing 60 degrees
Wet but happy we did it!
Here's the GoPro view that Kevin took as we jumped.
Next we did the Rim trail from the Rim village. Which was an easy hike with many many beautiful spots for more unnecessary pics, but I couldn't help myself
A little hazy later in the day, but so much better than yesterday
