Yesterday my wife and I hiked up to Elbow Lake. It took us about 40 minutes to hike in. The hike was definitely worth it. There were a few campers (tents) set up around the lake, lots of others on the shore playing in the water and fishing and two people in a rubber dinghy fishing. We had beautiful clouds in the sky with a light breeze helping to keep us cool while we were hiking in and out.
