Annette Lake
Last week, I hiked to Annette Lake. The first proper hike after covid! 7.5 miles return, 1700 feet of gain, still pretty chill, but enjoyable. I'd intended to do a proper hike the week before, but the weather decided to rain a lot, and that's no fun, so I stayed at home.
Crossing the stream near the start of the hike.
The first signs of autumn colour.
Berries along the trail.
I love ferns!
Breaks in the trees at scree slopes give views across the valley.
First views of the lake.
Annette Lake is always a challenge to photograph, since the accessible shore looks into the sun, but I do my best...
Of course, the upside of the accessible shore looking into the sun is that you're sitting in the sun on a nicely warmed rock while you eat lunch :-) And I am now declaring myself officially back to normal function.
