Let's Talk About Lakes

You may never believe this, but there's a lot of land west of Ohio. And despite the fact that there's an insane drought virtually every summer, there are still a lot of lakes out west. So let's talk about a few of them because hot dang are they wonderful.

A very incomplete list of lakes we saw or visited:

• Sylvan Lake, South Dakota
• Trout Lake, Yellowstone, Wyoming
• Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming
• Long Lake, Wyoming (along Beartooth Highway)
• Jackson Lake, Wyoming
• Two Ocean Lake, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
• Jenny Lake, GTNP, Wyoming
• String Lake, GTNP, Wyoming
• Phelps Lake, GTNP, Wyoming
• Little Redfish Lake, Idaho
• Redfish Lake, Idaho
• Lake Coeur D'Alene, Idaho
• Macdonald Lake, Glacier National Park, Montana
• Diablo Lake, North Cascades National Park, Washington
• Lava Lake, Montana
• Lake Angeles, Washington
• Whitefish Lake, Montana
• Lake Sammamish, Washington

You get the idea - there were a lot of lakes. But we can't really dig into what made each one special in one single blog post, so I wanted to look at the best of the best, or at least the ones with the best memories. As such, here is a quick recap about Margaret and Lake Angeles.
