We set out at 8:15 hoping we could reach the pass before the rain came in. First port of call was Fishercap Lake, moments from the trailhead. We have seen many moose in this lake. Right now there are zero moose. Red Rock Falls is a small detour but worth it. All the rock in this area is so colourful. We had to spend some time watching this little muskrat getting on with his day. Fuzzy little ducks on Bullhead Lake. Bullhead Lake was so still, the reflection was just stunning. Usually that’s just an early morning thing so I was delighted to see this lake. I could have spent hours here. At the end of the lake we are faced with a gorgeous rock wall full of waterfalls and no idea where the trail will take us. Obviously somewhere beautiful. The trail goes right then switc
