Hanging Lake Hike

But on the second day of our vacation the streets had already cleared up which gave is the chance for a 'little' hike... to the Hanging Lake. This is already a quite challenging hike in the summer time but as you remember from my last post, we had a blizzard over here which added a few levels of difficulty in form of ice and snow. So this 'little' hike of 30 mins each way turned out to be a bit longer...

In fact around 3 to 4 times longer. So we were counting the numbers of bridges to cross... in the picture above you can see number 4 of 7. But the reward was astonishing enough: this green crystal clear lake framed by the white of ice and snow. Fantastic! I am sure to come back the next time in the summer time though ;-)

And here is the Hanging Lake exploration party 2008: Christine who took the exploration lead, Jasmina who kept an open eye for bears and mountain lions from her vantage point and myself who was there just for his good looks I guess :o)

But our adventure continued so stay tuned!
