A mix of sun and cloud, the forecast predicted. They were half right. Our selfie-sized group was in the clouds for most of our climb up Mt Menzies. We opted to leave snowshoes behind. This decision was appreciated on the bare logging road until the top third of our route. From there the snow became progressively deeper, maxing out at about 2 meters at the summit. Fortunately we only sank to about the top of our boots most of the time. As if our 575 meter climb wasn't enough we decided to check out a trail to Saddle Lake that looked easy and inviting on the maps. That turned into a bushwhacking loop that added another 75 meters to our total ascent. On our way down the low level cloud cleared so we were rewarded with a view from the lower viewpoint.
