Grassi Lake; Such A Beauty

It was my first hiking of the season, unlike last year when I started at Mount Norquay, this year I started at Grassi Lake. The trail, even though a short, leisurely one had options to take the "easy" trail or the "more difficult" trail. Due to the people with me, we chose the easy one and what a beauty!

Nature unspoiled, fresh smell of grass, the combined sounds of the forest, birds chirping, insects buzzing, waterfalls splashing in the near distance; all gave a sense of freedom you can only find when standing in the daunting presence of nature.
