Just up from the parking lot. Decon is on the left.
Along the trail. The perfectly round soccer ball in the tree is really just a piece of snow.
Along the trail. Amberle, Tara, Decon and Greg are up there in the snow. We are snowshoeing on the road leading in to Chinook Lake.
Nearly at the campground. Crowsnest Mountain is looming in the distance. (I've climbed this mountain 12 times and Decon has been up there 13 times.)
Looking over Chinook Lake from just above the roadway. Adam is on the road.
Decon is preparing to walk on water.
Amberle and Tara making snow angels on Chinook Lake. They have been swimming in this very spot numerous times, but this is their first time in the snow.
Looking back at the swimming area (previous photo) and roadway leading up from the beach. Yes, I walked on water with Adam, Greg and Decon. Now, Amberle and Tara are following our obvious trail.
We are now heading westward down the shore of the lake. The mountain is the same one as the one on the left on the panoramic photo.
Open water at the west end of Chinook Lake.
Looking east across the open water and frozen surface of Chinook Lake.
Amberle drinking from the creek with Tara looking on.
Greg heading south around the west end of the lake.
Back up the roadway from the beach and into the trees. We're taking a different trail back to the parking area.
Davis Bigelow along the woods trail with Crowsnest Mt in the background. Adam took this shot for me.
On our way home. The Crowsnest Pass tree. The wind howls violently through this area and over time, deforms the trees.
The Crowsnest Pass tree from farther away. Looking west into the pass about a half hour drive from Chinook Lake.
A final shot of the Crowsnest Pass tree from along Highway 3.
