About This Event
Silver Lake is rumored to rival Lake Blanche in beauty, and the age 50+ crew is going to hike up and unveil the truth! Brace yourself for a stunning mountain lake surrounded by cliffs on one side and a panoramic valley view on the other, complete with enough seasonal wildflowers to delight any aspiring naturalist.
A place this fabulous and serene demands a classic Chablis to accompany our adventure. Fingers crossed that our wine indulgence won’t cloud our judgment. We’ll coordinate our accoutrements accordingly—this promises to be an unforgettable experience!
