The route to Cutthroat Lake is a short, scenic hike with a gorgeous lake at the end. We started our hike early one frosty morning and were rewarded with a brilliant lake to ourselves. 

When I was young I loved my birthday. I eagerly counted down the days before I could become "all powerful". Before I headed off to school, my mother would arm me with an enormous button which read. "It is my birthday I can do whatever I want". Although I am certain this made my teachers snicker, in theory this line perfectly described the day in my mind.
