Bertha Lake Family Hike August 6, 2012

This was a great day for a hike.  This was probably the longest hike I have done with a child in the child carrier we had purchased after we had our first child.  The Bertha Lake trail is pretty easy till you reach Bertha Falls, then it is quite a bit steeper till you reach the Lake.  My five year old boy took a lot of coaxing to get to the top but he made it all the way.  The best part of the day was cooling off in the lake with the kids, they had a blast playing in the water.

No track or approximate track for this hike as it is trailed the entire way
