Hike Lakes loop trail: 50th Anniversary trip

 Friday August 27th after touristing at Box Canyon we decided to drive to Reflection lake and hike the High Lakes loop. It was cloudy and drizzly for this hike.

I was happy to see that there were some wildflowers still in bloom. 


My husband managed to get a couple of photos of me trudging along.


We spied a mama deer and her fawn busy eating with their heads down. There were lots of blueberries along the trail that we enjoyed snacking on.

We got to a great viewpoint where the clouds were just high enough that we could get some views.


This is the view my husband was getting a photo of. Lake Louise.

A small pond along the trail.


The dew left lovely sparkles on the leaves of the plants we walked by.

More wildflowers.






Almost done with our hike. A few years ago we had lunch on this bridge in the photo below on a sunny day as we were going around the Wonderland trail.

And back to where we started. Even though it was cloudy and we felt a few misty raindrops it was a wonderful hike.

Garmin stats:
total miles - 3 miles
elevation ascent - 628 feet
