Mt. Willett

 Here's the view from the top of Mt. Willett - a bit hazy yesterday, but generally perfect weather for hiking.  It's a fairly long day - we were 4.5 hours up and 4 hours down.  My knees and quads are feeling it today!  This is the third of the "big" peaks in our area that I have managed to climb and each gives a different perspective of the area.  This picture looks south down Kootenay Lake right above and across from Lardeau.  Four of us completed the hike yesterday and one of the party had brought his son's boots so ended up doing the hike in his sport sandals - pretty good for a 60 plus individual!  Meadows were lovely, air was clean and clear and we had a good time on this hike.  Enjoyed the "new" hiking trail put in by the young crew working for Kaslo Community Forest.  Thank you, young Trail Blazers!
