Yesterday, thru serendipity, I was able to accomplish a super strenuous hike for my level and move on to the next grade! Yeeeah...
Our original trail to Fox Lake was closed, so we ended up going further to Frozen Lake which was thankfully "unfrozen" in summer. Typically this tends to be a super muddy, slippery and gradually climbing trail which even seasoned hikers in our group had left half-way off. So, it was particularly wonderful for a fairly novice like me to make it all the way to the top- around 445 m elevation and total distance of 17.25 kms.
Also, the other fun thing was to jump in-and-out between Alberta and BC! These lakes and trails are right on the border and there are parts where we were actually walking on the inter-provincial line.
