Jumping back into the car, we headed for the top of the mountain. The weather was still terrible with low lying clouds obscuring anything above us, we could still enjoy the river valley we drove along. We stopped at a waterfall along the road before completing our drive.
When we reached the end of the road, there was 8 feet of snow covering the ground. Most trails required snowshoes and proper snow apparel which we did not have. We visited the visitor centre which was closing and then the lodge. Our hike consisted of walking 20m over a snowy road before everyone decided to turn around. The view of the snow-covered valley with meltwater running down the middle was nice but didn’t require that much time to appreciate.
I was hoping to move on. We had visited the lodge and the gift shop for a significant amount of time. With nothing else to do, let’s move on and eat somewhere we haven’t seen, like the waterfall we didn’t stop at earlier. Mary went back into the lodge to the washroom and didn’t want to leave. Eventually, we gave in and decided to eat in the lodge. The lodge was beautiful. When assembled from local materials, they crafted the lodge so that they did not need to use a single nail.
To be continued...
