Exploring the Koots 0518


We decided to take part of Thursday off for a short hike: Davis Creek trail, just up the lake from here. Like many trails around the Kootenays, there's lots of elevation gain; I think this one climbed about 500 m in the first 45 minutes. Great views out over the lake and to the peaks across the lake. Unfortunately, once we got up into the mature hemlock forest in about 90 minutes, there was too much snow to make it worthwhile pressing on. Oh well - I guess we'll just have to go back later on. Took time for a leisurely lunch at Lost Ledge, skipped some rocks into the mill-pond lake and meandered back home and back to work.
