Story:
We were a little hesitant when pulling into the parking lot at the top of Millcreek canyon, for the dark storm clouds were gathering overhead quite rapidly.
Indeed, about 45 minutes into the hike, the raindrops began. We had our ponchos though, and we pressed on.
Soon enough though, the storm got very serious with high winds, loud thunder and lightning all around us, and drenching rain. We almost turned back but we were so close!
And the moment we approached the shoreline, the storm ceased and gave way to the sun. It was almost like a reward for enduring all that we had gone through on the way up.
After a short break, we headed back down via the other trail which proved to be much steeper in exchange for the shorter distance. All in all, it was a nice and simple hike. Dog Lake isn't a very attractive destination, but I hadn't been there in a very long time and certainly enjoyed the trip.
