Joffre Lakes in early October
Cold morning, almost no one on the trail before nine. The upper lake was still that milky turquoise, and the glacier looked noticeably smaller than two years ago.
Garibaldi Lake, second attempt
The switchbacks are long but steady. Packed too much water again. Taylor Meadows campground was full, so we did it as a day hike.
Lighthouse Park loop
Rainy-day option. Big old Douglas firs and a nice view of the city from the rocks.
