A walk in the woods (with pictures)

The weather was perfect and sunny for this long weekend so I took a trip up to Lindeman and Greendrop lakes in the Chilliwack River Valley. The trail past Lindeman to Greendrop lake is a fairly easy 9 mile round-trip through beautiful old-growth forest and more than a few scree fields to a two picturesque crystal-clear green lakes. Here's a link to my flickr set and, naturally, some photos.

one of many talus slopes to be crossed - rockslides seem to be a favorite local past-time

Those lakes are insane.

I managed to get out hiking on Saturday, but I didn't get to see near as much water.

Wow, that water is so beautiful and clear.

I really like the last picture. . . looks like a painting.

That's some really pretty country. I've never been to Chilliwack area and need to visit it some time.
