Sunshine Coast Road Trip
Thu 05 June 2008
Tanya, Heather N, and I went for a road trip to B.C.'s
Sunshine Coast for three days earlier this week. We had a lovely
time. The highlight was the wildlife: deer, blue heron, sea
stars, crabs, clams, and aenenomes, turkey vultures, a bald eagle
and a golden eagle, and two black bears—one while we were
hiking!
Lake Chelan
Tue 20 May 2008
On the weekend I hiked Lake Chelan with six friends. It was
a great trip. We spent the first night at
the Lake Chelan State Park campground, then on Saturday took the
Lady of the Lake II ferry from Fields Point to Prince Creek. From
there it was an 11 1/2 mile (7.5 hour) hike in 30 + weather to
Moore Point. The contrasts between heat and cold, dryness and
water, were amazing. We could see snow capped peaks and glaciers
above, which melt and rush down the steep mountainsides into the
lake. Lake Chelan is fed by 27 glaciers. Most of us brought
swimsuits, but no one was brave enough to swim in the frigid
water. The climate is similar to that of the south Okanagan,
resulting in similar vegetation: ponderosa pines, scrubby-looking
bushes, arrowleaf balsamroot. Oh, and lots of salamanders and at
leat one huge toad.
The second day it took about 3 1/2 hours to hike the remaining 7 miles to Stehekin, where five of us enjoyed burgers and sandwiches on a restaurant deck overlooking Lake Chelan. Unfortunately, we left beind two comrades at Moore Point due to heat exhaustion and severe foot blisters. But our ferry back to our cars stopped there and picked them up, so everyone made it safely back.
