The lake at the top. The second pic is from 2017. There’s no spots to camp near it, it’s right under the power lines, and it’s buggy as fuck. But beautiful!

With the sun setting, we headed for camp. I channeled my inner @turbodb for some good splashes!

Even with power lines, these views were unreal.

We were definitely pushing sunset, trying to get to the lower lake before it got too dark

The fall colours, and the sunset were worth the drive alone, never mind the mountain views

Night was falling fast, and we were still trying to get to where we wanted to be.

And then we were blocked, by a tree of significant size. Derek started sawing

Jason, with the jku with 4d’s, went over it. Got video of it. It was quite impressive. The tree is bigger around than his tires

Waking up the next morning, we broke camp and followed the trail North. And found a small, creek fed, generation station, complete with power lines, and a BC Hydro truck.

The first pic is a logging town across the bay. They use a barge to get to the side we are on when doing line inspections.

The old bridge had definitely seen better days, and we found this trail kind of petered out as we followed it north. Only got a couple KM up this way.

Heading south, it was an obvious logging road, and judging by the overgrowth, and the cut block regrowth, hasn’t seen much for traffic for a few decades.

We found and followed a trail up and out of the fog. This one is falling apart pretty bad up here. But it does bear some further exploration. With a couple gas axes tho.

We turned around, and headed back for the pass trail, out of promising options. For now. We found the end of the power line as well. The line power shack supplied power to this trappers cabin. Pretty awesome spot to have a cabin, I’d say!
