Thanks to a drier than normal summer, the huckleberries weren’t nearly as big—nor as plentiful—as in years past. And for a Wednesday, there was a surprising number of people on the trail. But Harrison Lake was still its usual glorious self, and the huckleberries were still tasty.
Side note: Yes, the water looks refreshing after a fairly steep climb. No, it’s not warm. Not at all. The feeling returned to my extremities some time around 3:00 this morning.
