Morton Memorial Hike Lake Awosting Loop

It was 5 years ago today that my cat Morton got hit by a car. So each year in his memory I go for a hike. This year I plan to get to know the Gunks a lot better as I have not hiked all that much there despite the close proximity. So, this would make a nice place to hike in Morton's memory.

It's a pretty long lake, definitely over a mile. The trails had nice views the whole way along with pretty white flowers in full bloom.
