April Bowl and Gold Cord Lake

 I hiked with the Walkabouts hiking group today.  First we hiked April Bowl to the top at Hatch Peak.  It was pretty cold at the start and very windy, but at least we didn't overheat climbing up there.  Everyone enjoyed the hike.  We had a large group, about 10 hikers and almost as many dogs.  It was quite an experience for Baby, my tiny chihuahua because she was so tiny compared to all those other dogs.  She did her share of growling, but actually got along pretty well with everyone.  That trail up the ridge is very rocky but Baby had no trouble hopping from rock to rock all the way to the top.  I never did have to carry her. The route climbs about 1000 feet but it's pretty short. We were back to the cars by 12:30 pm.  A few of us decided we needed more hiking, so we also hiked up to Gold Cord Lake, adding another climb and a couple more miles to the day.  It was a perfect day for both hikes.
