Hiking the Lake
Louise ski area access road to the trailhead. |
| Scramble: Hiking
with a
good buddy, Val and his lady friend Yui. Camped at Hidden Lake
campground. The place was fully booked. The following morning we set
off early to beat the crowds. The scramble is very easy and the view is
phenomenal; we
love coming to this area. Some guy who was already at the top pulled
out a
huge satellite phone and started conversing with a friend; neat! We
took our time returning, the weather was fantastic. Winston was excited
and well behaved, staying with the pack. We explored Redoubt Lake and came around
the south shore of Ptarmigan Lake. |
