A Hike and A Skinny Dip at Hub and Hazel Lakes (via Mtn Misfits)

Wandering through an old forest of giant cedars, the rushing Ward Creek spills over and between boulders creating a series of small rapids and waterfalls, and this is only the beginning of our hike to Hazel and Hub Lakes in the Great Burn Wilderness Study Area. After a steep set of switchbacks across an open mountainside, we enjoyed the vistas of looming peaks and ridges that surrounded us.
