Katie, my friend who hiked Lazy Mountain with me a few days ago, wanted to go on a short flat hike somewhere, since she doesn't start her new job until next week. Eklutna Lake is nice and flat and you can make it as long or short as you want. We hiked the Lakeside Trail to the cabin and back. It's a little over 6 miles. We stopped and paid our respects to the spot where my dog, Baby was killed. My 2 little butterflies are still attached to the trees. They're so hard to see, that no one has decided to remove them. Someone did remove the tiny birdhouse I hung from a tree. I suspect the park service decided it was somehow offensive. It was a lot easier to see than the tiny butterflies. So they will remain a secret that only I can find. The lake is really low right now. It supplies the water for the city of Anchorage, so sometimes I think they let more escape for that purpose at certain times of the year. There wasn't very much snow anywhere this winter, so most of the lakes are still a little low.
