On this pleasantly cool late-summer day, some of our hikers drove up to Campbell River's Snowden Forest and divided into two groups to tackle the Four Lakes and the Lost Lake-Lost Frog trail systems. It was a good day.
The Four (Riley, Elmer, Frog and Lost) Lakes route used this time took the hikers up the shorter, less hilly right side of Elmer Lake, while the other group added a circuit around Riley Lake to their Lost Lake-Lost Frog route. Result? - distances covered by the two groups were quite similar and they got back to the trailhead within 20-30 minutes of each other. As usual, all enjoyed the outing and the debrief that followed, at the Riptide Pub.
