Spectrum Lake Hike/Camping

What a great trip!

Friday, July 28th we took off from Kelowna at 3am (6 am) and headed up to Spectrum Lake for three days. Because of the 14 hour hike (2.5 hour) that was almost vertical (it was fairly flat) and the fact that we could only carry about 180lbs (40ish lbs) on our back we weren’t able to bring a lot with us, completely ruffing it.

The first day, after the travel and hike, we didn’t do a whole lot. Set up our tents and ate most of our food. Second day, half of us went up to an amazing water fall on the other side of the lake and the other half of the group went to the Glacier (Maybe post those photos later?). From the photos you’ll see how incredible it was.

The terrain up to the falls was quite steep and being guys, we had to push a few rocks down the hill :)





That night and the next day we spent a lot of time getting the local wildlife used to us being there (We were running low on food you know) , fishing and carving walking sticks… among other things that we can’t talk about… "what happens on the mountain stays on the mountain" :).






Enough chat, here are some photos;

Kalamalka Lake

What a great day!

We rented a boat this past Saturday for Lynn’s Birthday (Happy Birthday Lynn!) on Kalamalka Lake, just outside of Kelowna. The weather was perfect, next to no wind and hot. We were out ripping all over the lake for the afternoon, sunburn and bruises to prove it.

Here are a few of the photos of the day

And a little video of me tossing Rob of the tube in less than 10 seconds… sweet.
