Today, we woke up to cloud and cold. By 8:30 a.m. that had cleared and it looked like a grand day. By 9 a.m. we headed off to Mt. Reco, a peak I'd scouted out in mid-July when attempting to do Texas Peak. It worked like a charm - 90 min. to the top and about 700m of elevation gain. We even got to follow a trail! It did start to snow while eating lunch - but hey, this is Canada and it IS August 31st, after all. Had some good views in the "short distance", but many peaks in the fog. We could see Slocan Lake. Took a "short cut" on the way down - not so sure if that worked but about 90 min. down as well. Saw a cinammon-coloured black bear just below Jackson Basin as we drove out - and the heavy rain began to descend. Back in Kaslo by 3 p.m. and quite a balmy day here for the last day of August.
