Hike #2: Top of the World Provincial Park

(Herman and Mom at Sparkle Lake)

So Mom and Herman and I went to Fish Lake in Top of the World Provincial Park. It was a really nice hike, nice and gentle, easy sort of walk to the lake, beautiful campground. Easy walk in to camp there, and do lots of hikes based out of there, because there are lots of nice hikes extending from there. We did one of them, walked on to Sparkle Lake, which was truly exquisite. A climb up, more or less straight up an avalanche chute, and we encountered snow on the way, which made things interesting! We had some fun skiing in our shoes, and way too much fun having snowball fights! The lake, as I said, was exquisite, adn the way down was good, except the snow became a bit of a hazard, as some of us (ahem, yours truly not included) fell on our butts numerous times in the snow. All in all it was a laugh, and a joy to spend the day hiking with Mom.
