Hiking season is finally upon us so we decided to revisit an old friend, Chester Lake. It is possibly the busiest trail on this side of the rockies and has a car park that would be big enough for a WalMart as proof of its popularity. But it is popular for a reason, bang for buck it cant be beaten! It is an especially good place to take novice hikers as we were doing today. While we have done the hike a number of times for some reason we have never pushed all the way to the end of the trail so that's what we did today. I'm glad we did, as it turned out to be a truly spectacular area.
The second lake, notice the massive avalanche remnants that is half filling the lake, it must have been an impressive slide.
Summer hiking in the Rockies...
Hoary marmot, love those guys.

That is a good sized marmot. Looks like a nice walk.
