The weather is warmer every day since the storm passed through. Dorothy and Kevin (my sister and her husband) came for a visit this weekend bringing a load of fresh fruit, amazing steaks and a bottle of tasty wine. We drove over to Lightning Lake and walked around a portion of the trails.
The day park area is home to hundreds of ground squirrels. Their network of underground tunnels and entrance holes makes it very risky to walk on the grassy bits so we stayed on the pathways.
Two brave bodies decided to cross over on logs!
From Lightning Lake we drove up to Cascade Lookout, a steep and winding road that led to a gorgeous viewpoint over the mountains and down to Manning Park Lodge.
Leaving the viewpoint we continued to climb up a gravel road to the Alpine Meadows. I am not sure if they were in full bloom but there were some beautiful samples.
Later in the afternoon we continued with our pentathlon. It was a challenging competition of Mexican Train, UNO, Saskatchewan Rummy, Baganole and a final bout of Mexican Train as a tie breaker.
Dorothy and I were forced to concede the championship to the men!
