hiketofish Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Thought I'd share some pics again as I enjoy viewing and living vicariously through other's picture posts. Just a point and shoot camera but hard to get to locations seem to make up for lack of camera skill. Trip started up a steep walled valley, lots of rocks. Lots of tracks in the mud, I really liked the claw marks. Never saw them, but they were obviously around. These looked pretty fresh. Then a lunch spot close to the pass. Lunch spots should always have worthy views. Imagine my surprise finding these at 8300 feet and coming from a different valley than I'd just climbed. I have so much respect for where Grizzlies roam. Then down to a lake I'd just picked out on a map as a need to go to some day. Looking Northish Looking Eastish The best view was to the South east. This is one of my favorites This one just has nice colors. I remember reading a post on the old board where a guy was reflecting on his morning coffee views while at Obstruction Lakes. Now that I have grown to like coffee in the mornings, I have always tried to take some morning coffee pics as well. So here's the same view as above but with a bit more snow for the hike out...

hiketofish Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Perhaps would be fun to guess... Its in Alberta, central rockies. Lake is named. Large drainage into and out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwalters Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Perhaps would be fun to guess... Its in Alberta, central rockies. Lake is named. Large drainage into and out of it. Is it in BNP or Kananaskis Country? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiketofish Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Not Mystery Lake near JNP, I've never been to that one, I had heard that it winter killed. South of there in any case. Not in Kananaskis Country either... Here's my first look down its valley from its headwaters. Lots of neat features along the way including some natural bridges.

Suntoucher Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Great report with a great setting! Did you do any fishing while at the lake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiketofish Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Not alot of Guesser's I see. You should not ever see fishing reports from this lake and it flows into this river: That should make it easy for any that were curious.

hiketofish Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Not Glacier Lake, much smaller, and not silty, but drainage is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
