Opabin Plateau and Opabin Lake

July 24, 2014

It was cloudy and drizzly so we put on our rain gear and took the East Opabin trail to the Opabin Plateau and Opabin Lake.  The rain held off during the hike but we needed toques and gloves.  On the return we took the trail to Opabin Prospect which affords nice views over Lake Mary and Lake O’Hara.  We then descended the West Opabin trail and ended up back at Lake O’Hara.  This was an easy meandering hike through lovely meadows with small lakes.

It was really cold again so we ducked into one of the shelters late in the evening to warm up, this was just the thing we needed as it took the chill off.  We chatted with other hikers then headed to our tent.  As usual, click on the pictures to enlarge....
