Alpine Wanderings - Seed Peak (22/52)

Third time lucky! Bagged Seed Peak on the weekend. It was on our list for a couple of years. Nice trail through majestic mountain hemlock old growth, along an alpine ridge with gorgeous views and up the (still) snowy bowl of Seed Peak. The only drawback were the many wash-outs on Mamquam FSR. Our trusty Tracker overcame several of the obstacles but in the end we had to hike more than an hour on the logging road to get to the trail head. Photo shows us coming down from Seed Peak, Mt Gillespie in the middle and Judge Howay and Mt Baker on the horizon.

Bridge and Fraser River - Canyons and Sagebrush (21/52)

Over the years we have done several trips to explore the Bridge River and Fraser Canyon area around Lillooet, so I decided it was high time to revisit the area. Over the weekend I crossed ways with several bears (mostly seeing the hind end of them running away), stayed at the still deserted BC Hydro camp site at Carpenter Lake and found some new angles to look at familiar sights.

Here are images from the weekend: the Coliseum (Horseshoe Bend) on the Bridge River, site of quite a few exciting paddling adventures, Carpenter Lake and the Fraser Canyon.We must always have been in a rush to get on the water as I never had a look at the Bridge River Coliseum from this particular view point. It shows the rapids very well!
