Fall Hiking # 1

One of the aspects of living in the mountains that I really, really like is the ability to get up in the morning, see what the weather is like and then make the decision to go hiking or not.

This Friday looked OK so in an hour we were at the Gibson Lake trail head to Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park.  In less than hour, we were near tree-line where the sub-alpine meadows are in their fall colors of yellows and reds.  

The weather was the usual mountain variety - cloud, a couple of showers, blue skies and cool temperatures.  It was a great day for hiking.
