Mary Peil was the Moxie leader of the hike to Ice Lake. There were two options available: a loop hike from Island to Ice Lake and an out and back to Fuller Lake with a stop at Ice Lake. The group started out together approaching from cheater falls. There were several water crossings and narrow trails with some exposure depending the on the route. The group met at Ice Lake for a quick snack stop before descending back down the trail. It was a beautiful blue bird day and the wildflowers were abundant on the hillsides.
