Interesting land scape..LIKE..Thanks

Nice clean clear lake, I did a little line casting but came up Nil, not to say that there are no fish, I just didn't catch one. The lake is up to 30 feet deep right off of this outcrop of rock. If you plan to do this hike I'd suggest wearing corkers and gators, there are a lot of wind falls on the West side of the lake from a storm that swept through 5 years ago. There are no trails.

We did not make the summit on this hike as we got socked in with cloud/fog. We hiked it from the end of Alouette Lake starting at the little cabin just southeast of the creekmouth (boat access). I have also been to the new trailhead off the end of the Florence Lake FSR. I have not tried from the Glacier Point (would that be boat access from Stave Lake?) It is a grueling climb through slick brush and then somewhat exposed scrambling above. This year the snow may prove too deep to get onto the actual ridge approaching the summit. Might want to wait until later in Sept. especially if we see more hot weather. Hope that helps, and good luck.

Nice photo, All the best from Adelaide South Australia.

A very well shot picture John. Is there a story behind that tree? Ron

Hello Louise nice to hear from you ,was out in 2k8 for 5 weeks before moving on to Bali, i was able to visit the New shopping complex that you have at Rouse Hill, thank you for taking the trouble to send your comment,regards from a very sunny Belfast, Fergus.

jd22 your pictures are always first rate, even the bug in this shot adds a little something, if to perhaps warn the explorer to consider a hat with netting. As to Ayla canoes, as of 2009 they were still renting canoes down at the Grant Narrows park, but the park has removed their license from what I have seen in the local papers so your own water transport might be the only way to get to Widgeon from now on. On a nice weekend they used to rent out over 100 canoes at a time and most of them came up to the Widgeon slough area. But yes the time for rental returns made for a quick hike into the lake.

This is an absolutely fantastic photo, when I came across it in Google earth I actually said WOW out loud.

It took me a while to find that bridge. See you next season

Hi Ron, The map of Pinecone/Burke I have doesn't have a name for this creek.
