We decided that we needed some time in the mountains and it is officially hiking season! We have tried twice to complete this hike and were turned around both times. We decided on Rainbow Lake Trail in Frisco for an easy two mile hike.

The first time we got caught in a rain/hail storm in August, then the trail was icier than we expected in December and we didn’t have traction. The mountains here are always unpredictable.

This trail is so easy to get to and right outside the town of Frisco.

The sun was shining and the weather was perfect.

We love this boardwalk portion that takes you through a little wetlands, full of snow melt.

There are many bridges and fun rocks to climb. I really love this hike, it’s so good for kids.

We actually made it to the lake this time and enjoyed some time wading and making new friends.

After our hike we went down to main street in Frisco to grab some lunch.

This was about five minutes from the trailhead.

Little downtown Frisco is SO cute.
