From the top of Cowhorn Mountain (the previous hike on our schedule), one can see that the forested landscape is dotted with small lakes. Curiosity aroused, we decided to hike to a couple of them, Nip and Tuck Lakes, specifically. Were not sure why a couple of lakes were named after a minor cosmetic surgical procedure, but it'll give us something to talk about on the hike.
