After doing Bald Mountain, we decided to hike out to Ruth Lake for a little more time in the mountains. The hike to Ruth Lake from Mirror Lake Highway is less than a mile, but it is beautiful. About 15 minutes into the hike we saw a moose and her calf drinking in a babbling brook. This area really is quite picturesque. You can also hike in to Ruth Lake from the Lofty Lakes trailhead. We might try that route the next time.Start Elevation: 10,120 ft
