Early that afternoon I hiked from the campground down to the lake.
There I got on the Dobbins House Trail, which followed along the canyon rim.
It led to Pase Point, a collection of big rocks jutting out over the canyon, a great view.
From there I took a trail leading out of the park that looped for miles through a national forest.
I came upon a deer but, despite the warning signs, no bear.
By the time I got back to our site it ended up being a 5 mile hike. I crashed the rest of the day.
