Write Up:Lovely, lovely hike with mixed weather - mist, clouds, sun, all changing from one minute to the
next. About half way up the trail, snow covered the ground and there were even some snowshoe
tracks beside part of the trail - must be time to get the winter gear out! We were entertained
by a family of four birds which may have been ptarmigans, but checking my bird book now I think
that they were more likely Sharp-tailed Grouse. The lake was beautifully calm and we found an
excellent spot on south side of the lake for lunch. Before heading back down we hiked the trail
around the lake which was rockier and more challenging than it looked! Happy day.
