Babe Haught Trail - Hatchery to Knoll Lake

Failed miserably in my attempt to do this hike last weekend (thunderstorms) so I went for it again today. Got a late start due to not getting back home from the valley until 2am last night. Started at Babe Haught from the Hatchery up and across the rim to Knoll, then around Knoll before returning the way I came. Despite thunder clouds looming all day, the storms stayed just far enough away to keep me dry. Arrived at Knoll Lake at the same time the thunder started rumbling and a wall of clouds rolled by. Lots of campers and fishermen along the lake today, all of them catching fish as I walked by. The trail around Knoll Lake can be faint at times and footing isn't the best but it forced me to slow down and enjoy the scenery, I guess. Enjoyed a brief nutrition break before heading back down Babe Haught and over to Tonto Creek just to listen to the water and sit down for a minute. Very enjoyable hike.
