Last weekend, Molly, our 8 year-old lab mix, and I hiked to Nolan Lake south of Fulford outside of Eagle, Colorado. The lake sits about 11,250 ft.

Molly lives to hike.  This was our first true outing this summer so she bounded around like a puppy.  This is a good hike for dogs because there is plenty of water along the trail.

This is a little early to make this hike but with the low snow winter we had the trail was nearly free of snow.  We made it to the lake in a little over an hour but we pushed hard.

The lake was spectacular and views down valley beautiful.  I highly recommend this hike to anyone wanting to make a relatively moderate hike to a high alpine lake.
