Tuesday 19/3/2019 Fish Lake
Whitehorse, Yukon, CANADA

The trailhead for this walk is a short drive from Whitehorse. We headed off on a stunningly clear day. The trail gradually climbed through forest until we were above the tree line. We kept climbing onto a rocky ridge with fantastic views of the frozen Fish Lake and surrounding mountains which appeared to go on forever. After a quick snack we descended via the same route.

Lynn Canyon – British Columbia – BRITISH COLUMBIA
Saturday 9/03/2019 Lynn Canyon
Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA
Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos), Sue Davies (Report), Jay Macarthur
We enjoyed a short walk in Lynn Canyon in North Vancouver with my friend from the 1980’s, Jay. North Vancouver had received a considerable amount of recent snow which made for scenic conditions in the 1,000 year old forest. Highlights were the suspension bridge, the ancient forest and the stunning 30 foot pool (a great spot in summer apparently!).
