On Friday Mark and I drove out to Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park to snowshoe up Flora Peak.
 |
| We also made a detour to Lindeman Lake |
We parked along the side of Chilliwack Lake Road and made our way up the Flora Lake Trail. Around 1200m we hit the snowline. Mark was excited to put on his snowshoes.
 |
| This aussie's first time on snowshoes! |
The main face looked super avalanch-y so we headed up the West ridge. It is a lower angle and has lots of trees. We stayed right to avoid cornices.
 |
| This is a sub-summit. True summit is hidden in background. |
We decided that conditions looked sketchy near the top, so we did not continue to true summit. We enjoyed some soft-slushy snow and a great view on the way down.
 |
| That's Mount Webb on the right. I went up there in a 2015 post! |
When we got back to the trailhead, we still had lots of daylight so we made the quick hike over to Lindeman Lake.
 |
| Shoes off, socks off, ahhhh life is good. |
A few notes:
-We encountered two other people and they were really friendly! Follow them on Instagram @Sparkles2222 and @InTheRiverValley. They told us they had seen an avalanche in the area so be careful!
-Very nice area and great views for little effort!
-Flora Peak would make a great ski.
-I recently started an Instagram. You can find it here.
