Hiking to Rawr Lake




The start of the logging road from the duffey 


Walking the logging road. To my surprise, there were about 5 cars at the little trailhead maybe 1km from the highway and our car was the only one left on the highway. I must be used to accessing this area from the winter only! Definitely makes me want to do more in the summer months here too... Maybe possibility for a 1 way and duffey pick up somehow?

This boulder field is the route we skied when making our way to the hut

First view of the alpine lake. Crystal clear cold water. And the campsite to the right. It was a pretty common spot with 3 tents pitched when we arrived and another party of 10 coming up in the afternoon from the road on our way down.

We turned around here. The GPS point I had saved was a little further ahead was where AB and I had stashed gear during our winter push to the summit. This also shows the reasonably straight forward route.
