Today we had planned to find a nice place where we could photograph the magical fog between trees and floating over water. Of course, it also had to be an area where you can go hiking and collect a few stamps😇.

To start my 3 reservoir hike, I had chosen the shortest hike. And I actually arrived quite late, which was due to various reasons. First of all, I don't like to stress myself out on my days off. If something takes longer, then that's just how it is.

A very nice tour along the dam, with a steep but short climb to the Stone Gate, definitely worth it.
