Saturday August 27th my wife and I went up the mirror lake highway and took a hike. Our intention was to summit Bald mountain but the clouds were moving in and there was thunder in the background and standing on top of a peak in a storm was not my idea of a good way to die. So we pulled out the map and found a fun hike. Notch lake is accessed from the same trailhead as Bald mountain. It is well marked on the highway and is right at the summit before you descend towards mirror lake. The trail is roughly 2.5 miles to Notch lake and passes Clegg lake on its way. A very nice trail that just meanders through the trees and has some great scenery along the way. Not alot of elevation change, just seems to roll up and down through the countryside.
