Lake Lovely Water - Canada Day long weekend.

On the trail not far into our 6hr hike to the lake. You can see the trail just to the left of Nikkers never more than 2 boots wide. Hiking through i kept thinking that at any moment an Ewok would jump out and spear me.

The majority of the way we hike parrallel with the drainage from the lake. There was waterfall after waterfall. From here we are approx half way up, by my guess the trees at the top of the photo would the altitude of the lake.

Almost there! With the blue sky above(including no canopy and sun light) and the last of the winter snow still lingering tells us that we are nearly there.

We made it!!!

After 10kms and a gain of 1200m in elevation we arrived at our accomodation for the next two nights.

The other side of the hut. Looking West out the window towards the lake.

Happy Canada Day!

Fishing of the the half sunken whalf for Rainbow Trout that habitat the lake with the last of the sun hitting the peak in the background.....without luck.

Sunday and the lake to ourselves. One of the most amazing places i have ever been and there was only 11 people there all weekend. Not including the 4 people that flew in by float plane for several hours.

Touring the lake on our rest day with Nicole and Kathy admiring one of the 6 Glaciers that flow into the lake. Very, very cold water........Very cold!

After familarising ourselves with the lake we found a nice bathing/swimming/fishing rock where we spent most of the day. As we left we snaped this photo of Ali soaking up few gamas.
