Back to Mt Robson

There are two ways to go south from Prince George.  Straight south quickly gets in to rolling to flat farm land.  East and then south goes through mountains and along side the Canadian Rockies.  Easy choice for us.  It meant retracing our steps a little but the first time we passed Mt Robson the top was in clouds and we wanted to see it all if we could.  So back to Mt Robson Prov. Park.  This time we stayed in the campground.  Very nice.  Long, wide, level camp sites with lots of trees.  Tables and fire rings at each site.  Away from road so quiet.  Free, hot showers.  Could see spending a few days here just relaxing.

For an afternoon event we took a seven mile round trip hike to a lake at the foot of Mt Robson. 

At the lake we did get a brief look at the top of the mountain.

The trail paralleled the river coming from the lake.  VERY full and VERY fast.  Every view a photo op.

At the lake we were passed by this group coming out of the high country.  Twelve to fifteen Japanese hikers with full packs.  They were really truckin’ too.  I have never seen hikers move that fast.

After the lake hike we took another hike to see a falls.
