Chester Lake Hike
Sunday, July 20th
Despite intermittent showers on our journey to the Chester Lake Trailhead, spirits remained high. Once gathered, the group split - some wandered through Canmore, while other returned to Calgary due to the weather. Seven determined adventurers, however, chose to press forward through the drizzle.
And what a good choice it turned out to be! As we neared Chester Lake, the rain eased and the sun graciously broke through the clouds. We paused for lunch by the lake, captivated by the serene sight of fly fishers casting in the distance.
The return hike was a treat for the senses, with vibrant wildflowers lining the trail - blooming brilliantly thanks to the recent rains. After drying off and changing into warm clothes, we wrapped up the day with cozy drinks and snacks at the Moose Family Kitchen in Kananaskis Village.
Thank you to everyone who joined this adventure and braved the rain. I'll be reposting this hike in August when the skies promise to be a bit more cooperative. Hope to see you then!
