On the access road looking back towards Mt Temple. Our trip has begun.

Pack horses in their corral. We spotted a deer in the corral but it was too timid for a photo.

After 4kms up the road we're at the start of the trail.

Bear warning at Baker lake. We're not staying there but will be hiking nearby.

Only 3.3kms to go to reach our first campsite.

The trail is wide and well maintained. The cool cloudy day saturates the colours.

Into the open meadows of Skoki. We get our first glimpse of the Richardson Pika Ptarmigan trio of mountains.

Corral creek runs through it.

An early sign of fall.. the larches hadn't turned yet but it won't be long.

We stopped to explore the halfway hut which was built in 1931.

Outside view if the halfway hut.

We made it to camp, setup the tent and are ready to hang our food bags on the bear poles. We keep all our cooking and some other gear in the bags, that's not all food.

Our campsite at Hidden lake. We'll be back later after our day's hiking adventure.

Jumping for new adventures!

Walking along the eastern shores of Ptarmigan lake.

it's a bit boulder-y

On our way towards Anthazoean we decided we should climb Heather ridge to get there.. rather than walk around it.

A look back towards Mt Redoubt on our way up Heather ridge.

Like being at the playground, we climb over large boulders.. sometimes they are loose and move on us.

There was a large fin of rock sticking up out of the rubble.
