Route: leaving the car at the Park and Ride carpark in Nederland and taking the free shuttle bus to Hessie Trailhead. Proceeding along a broad stony track to a further trailhead and then gradually rising with the valley before eventually arriving at Lost Lake. After circumnavigating the lake on small paths, descending the same way with rain arriving as we waited for the return shuttle.
Conditions: initially hot and sunny giving way to rain at the very end of the walk with some thunder.
Pub: the Very Nice Brewing Company for Very Nice, Logical Fallacy (stout) with and without espresso shot and Royal We IPA. Afterwards, taking a ride on the Carousel of Happiness.
