Sat, Apr 10 2010 - Chester Lake & Elephant Rocks (View Original Event Details)
|
The Kananaskis trail report said there was fresh snow at Chester Lake and the conditions seemed good to set up a snowshoe trip. Glad we went as there was lots of pristine snow on the ground and in the trees and beautiful blue skies. And in contrast to most trips to Chester, we had the trail almost to ourselves.
The snow was fluffy on the way up but was already getting sticky by our return. We had a leisurely lunch at the Elephant Rocks and still were back to our cars in a little under 4 hours.
Hard to believe there was so much snow along the Smith-Dorrien, when it was back to bare ground by Barrier Lake.
Thanks for joining me today for snowy fun. Laura L
