Yesterday I set out Lake Serene with a Brandon Brazee and Shaun Wilson. The weather in the mountains sounded questionable, so I figured this would be an easier option than some of the places I was considering. Plus, I had never been to the Serene mine and was interested in checking that out. Turned out to be a great day for hiking. We had no rain whatsoever. The final mile of the hike was snow covered, which added a lot to the difficulty and the beauty of the hike. This is the first time I have been on this hike during this time of year. We enjoyed watching the snow falls cascading down the face of Mt. Index while having lunch before heading back to our car.
We encountered 4 hikers along the way – only one of which made it all the way to the lake. There were some snow bridges and slippery slopes that added to the challenge. The Serene mine was the best mine I have been into. It had multiple levels of tunnels and various branches to explore. We were sharing one dim headlamp between the three of us. It would be better to have considerably more light to work with.
