Cheakamus Lake, BC - November 3, 2024

 A good trail to beautiful jade colored lake made for a great outing for Kay and I.

Some remaining fall color was a nice accent.

Lost Lake (Whistler) - November 1, 2024

This was a pleasant walk from our hotel in Blackcomb Village. There was still Autumn color to behold.

Swauk Forest Discovery Trail - October 25, 2024

This year's "Larch Madness" continued with this delightful afternoon hike with Michael and Kathy. Although we have hiked this many times before this is the first time we were here when the Larch was in it's prime. It gave the area new, magical, look for us.

The Stuart Range dominated the view to the north ...

... and Diamond Head to the south.

I was in my happy place sharing this beautiful day with Kay.

 

Blue Lake - October 17, 2024

 This was the eleventh time I've visited this beautiful spot but the first time in three years. I never tire of its beauty, especially when the larch are golden in the fall. This time I shared the trail with good friend Peter. A fresh dusting of snow and an occasional snow flake added to the magic of the day.

After the hike we visited the Washington Pass overlook to enjoy the stunning views.

Cheese Rock - October 14, 2024

This was our first time visiting this interesting geological feature in the Teanaway Community Forest. Great views of the Stuart Range and Teanaway Valley.

King of the Mountain

 

"Kilroy was here"

We were surprised to see larch at this low elevation.
