Trekking out after a successful trip - Joffre is huge in the background.Looking up at Mount Marlborough.Back at Aster Lake.Back to a landscape that is busy transitioning into summer. Sarrail rising gracefully at right.Rushing stream coming out of Aster Lake, this is called Aster Creek which joins Foch Creek before plunging down Fossil Falls towards Hidden Lake.Almost done with snow as we near the headwall on descent.A great view from the top of the headwall includes Fossil Falls and the lakes with Mount Lyautey rising above at left and Indefatigable at distant right.Wonderful colors on the calm lakes.Can't get enough of these views as we start one of the exposed snow traverses - note the trail in scree at center.Back in the green world around Hidden Lake.Looking down Hidden Lake.If you get your timing off this trail and all these flowers will be under water and you'll be in the nasty bush instead of on this nice trail.If you get your timing off this trail and all these flowers will be under water and you'll be in the nasty bush instead of on this nice trail.Back in the forest with smells of spring in the air.My favorite place to find these yellow violets is at the back of the Upper Kananaskis Lake.Last glances back over the Upper Kananaskis Lake towards the Foch Creek drainage with Sarrail at left and Lyautey at right.
