Another in a series of very hot summer days. Today's objective was Fletcher Lake, one we've seen from a nearby hill before but never hiked to.As usual, there was 10 km of bumpy, dusty logging road followed by a relatively steep, rough trail to a rather pretty subalpine lake. The topo map and GPS made sure we found the right place to start - trailheads aren't always really well marked in the Koots. Trail conditions would suggest this one's not hiked too often; a bit of trail clearing would be definitely in order. Speaking of which - I forgot my loppers, an essential piece of Kootenay trail hiking equipment. They would have been put to good use today.
Off in the far distance (see photo) is Mt Trafalgar, an objective for another (much longer) day. Today we were back home in time for some reading and a snooze before working on a few other chores.
