Exploring the Koots 0702


Coinciding with the Canada Day long weekend and a visit from Andi, Demitri and a friend from France, we decided to do a day hike to either Woodbury Cabin or Silverspray Cabin. We discovered briefly into the hike that the first main bridge was out so we changed plans and hiked up to Sunset Lake. The lake was actually quite nice, set back against Pontiac Peak. Views were available over to the Silverspray area, bear droppings were common along the road and we did have to walk through some snow. There is actually quite a bit of snow up high. The Silverspray bowl seemed to be still full of snow. Given the amount of snow we had this past winter, it seems possible that some areas won't lose their snow this summer. That could be good news for glaciers this year.
By the way, booo to BC Parks - their trail signs could be a bit more informative. A few more words would have made the trail conditions much clearer.
