Itinerary:

Total Distance: 11.4 kms
Elevation Gain: 245 m
Pace: Relaxed

Hiking through Paradise Valley is as awe inspiring as an alpine ramble, but much easier because the elevation gain is minimal. Pure wonder is what you're likely to feel on most of this trip-your mind grasping at enormity, trying to fathom nature's magnificence looming above you. Especially from the shore of rapturous Lake Annette, beneath Mt. Temple's sheer 1200m north face.

Our hike will follow the Paradise Creek Trail, crossing the creek several times enroute to the Lake. We will plan to have lunch at Lake Annette before returning via the same route.
