Snowshoe to Chester Lake
All in all, a spectacular day with brilliant sunshine, and a really enjoyable snowshoe hike. The elephant rocks were an interesting feature and worth the side trip. We may do this hike again in the fall because there are lots of larches up there and it would be quite brilliant at that time of year. Thanks to Paul for getting us out there and back!
Galatea Creek & Lillian Lake
Last Sunday we went out to Kananaskis Country to explore the many bridges on the Galatea Creek trail. It was a good day with great weather and few bugs. The start was quite different with the interpretive display about cougars at the trailhead.

After lunch, some of us climbed up the taxing 1 km scree slope to get a view of the lower Galatea Lake, which was well worth the effort. Thanks to all the hikers for joining us on this month’s outing. I hope you all enjoyed the hike, the conversations and the company today. Big thanks again to Bernice and Paul for trucking the majority of the crew there and back! Continue reading
