Well, isn't this fun! It is so great to be out and about with other members of the Glacier Probus Hiking Group that once more, a grouping of hikes was set up, this time scheduled for June 30th. Having good weather certainly helps...
On this day Bill's group started at 09:00a.m., checking out the trail system to Croteau Lake.
Our planned destination was Croteau Lake, so long as hiking conditions were favorable. We encountered no snow, not much mud and had a cool breeze to keep us refreshed. We arrived at the lake by 11:00. After a rest and some food we were all game to carry on. So we crossed Murray Meadows and reached Kwai Lake by noon for more rest and sustenance. Beautiful scenery all along the way was an excellent reward for our 18 km workout.

The second and third sets of hikers set off around 09:30. Gil's group set off first and again, Croteau Lake was the destination. Their route included the Helen McKenzie-Battleship Lake loop with the extension to Croteau Lake and if the smiles on faces were any indication, their foray onto the Mt Washington trails was a success.

Dawn's group contented themselves with the Helen McKenzie-Battleship Lake route and just plain enjoyed the sights of nature seen along the way. Shooting Star, Heather and Bunchberry flowers were among the offering of flowering plants now in evidence, while it was great to once more catch sight of Whiskey Jacks (Gray Jays).
