Cheakamus Lake, August 16

The hike to reach the lake is about 3km and then another 3km or so along the lake itself until you reach the end of the trail and a nice little beach. It is a fairly flat hike on a well maintained trail suitable for all, including bikes.





The water is cold -it is a glacier/snow fed lake afterall- but the day was so warm (34c) that I couldn't resist a few quick dips :)

Whistler - BC Day Weekend

We took the gondola up to Whistler mountain and then took one more lift to get to the peak, it was a very clear day and a warm one as well. We hiked parts of Half Note and High Note and here are the views:

Saw a couple of bears from the gondola, so keep your eyes open :)
