scenic hikes near Huron

Post by Andymcp1 »

I am taking my wife camping next week and need some ideas on things to do. She is not a hiker or camper, so I would love to find a great lake, or something to take her to. Kicker is that it must be under 3 miles round trip. We plan between winfield and the upper TH for Huron along the road in one of the secluded pull offs near the creek. Any suggestions on lakes, pretty views, etc that are easy to get to in that area?

Lake Ann is the obvious choice. If you can get her motivated to hike Hope Pass that's a great hike. I really like Sheep Gulch through the Aspens, been up it 5 times now. It is steep, but take your time.

If you decide on a hike to Hope Pass via Sheep Gulch as a "Kicker" ...

I would recommend a sizable retainer to the Divorce Lawyer of your choice in advance.
