We left the trailhead at 3:40 a.m. with headlamps and a picnic basket. By the time the sun crossed the ridge the lake had gone glass-flat, and the peaks were standing on their own reflections.
Vows at the waterline
Hannah and Eli wrote their vows on the backs of trail maps. Their two witnesses — a brother and a best friend — cried more than anyone.
“The lake was so still we kept whispering, like we might wake it.”
