We drove to Callaghan Lake for an overnight. In the morning we hiked to Cirque Lake, and later to Conflict Lake. Callaghan Lake Provincial Park is about 1.5 hour drive North from Vancouver.
We arrived near sunset. We had two inflatable kayaks, overnight gear, and a loveable pug named Smudge.
As the sun set we cruised the lake looking for a suitable camping spot.
We ended up camping on a rocky ledge about halfway up the lake on the East side.
How's the campsite Matt?
We paddled to the North end of the lake and hiked the trail up to Cirque Lake. Smudge came too!
Cirque Lake was beautiful!
.
What a lucky pug!
We paddled back to the parking lot, then hiked the 5km trail to Conflict Lake where we enjoyed our third swim of the day. The trail is windy and smooth. We saw a few trail runners. It looks like it could be fun on a mountain bike too!
Another 5km trail from Conflict Lake leads to Ring Lake, unfortunately we ran out of time and had to head back to the car. Of course we made a quick stop at Alexander Falls on the way home.
Whistler Hiatus really helped me plan this trip! If you're interested check out their info on Cirque Lake and Conflict Lake.
Also we were surprised to find a winter lodge at Conflict Lake. It's called the Journeyman Lodge. It's out of my price range but looks really nice! You can check out more info here.
