Elk Lakes

On Saturday we took a drive up to Elk Lakes Provincial Park. It's about 70 km north of our town and it's BEAUTIFUL, however the drive sucks. It's a dirt road that is not maintained so we don't drive there that often. Once you get there, you can do a few different hikes to various lakes/waterfalls/mountains/etc.

We hiked to the Lower Lake with the kids. Pretty neat because this glacier lake is what forms the mouth of the Elk River. Even though it's a glacier lake the kids decided it wasn't too cold to dip their feet in.

We played there for awhile...until Hayley fell into the lake. Yep, she wasn't too pleased. Good thing she had mom's extra hoodie to use as a makeshift dress :)

Needless to say that ended our time at Elk Lakes. It was a fun little adventure there and we plan to go back soon....maybe even to do some real wilderness camping!
