Mid January '21
Wasn't planning on going anywhere, but as early afternoon brought some sunshine I thought I'd just drive along Hwy40 & maybe take some photos. Somehow I ended up at upper K-Lake & figured I'd go for a walk to Rawson Lake. This is very very scenic area and one of my faves, not just in Canada. Solid packed trail & I easily booted up leaving all gear in the car. There was snowshoe track going up in direction of Rawson ridge through the forest. Walked across frozen lake 2/3 of the way, but cold wind made me turn back. Sarrail cliffs impressive as ever! On return dropped to frozen upper K-Lake and walked across; this was the first & reminded me of winter crossings over Garibaldi lake on BC Coast. Couple of pics:
[View from upper K-Lake parking lot and I am always equally in awe regardless of season or how many times I've seen it. Mt. Putnik center left, Mt. Indefatiguable far right]
[Walking across Rawson Lake towards Mt. Sarrail. Rawson Lake Ridge (or Sarrail Ridge, depends who you talk to) is upper center right]
[Walking across frozen upper K-Lake on return with last rays of sun reflected of Opal range]
