5. Allstones Lake

Distance:12.9k return
Elevation gain: 450m (but it felt like much more)

On July 30, 2011 the whole family was together at a Stolte Reunion in David Thompson Resort. We decided to do a real hike together. We carried Evalyn but Rachel and Luke chose a shorter hike – Crescent Falls.               
    Allstones Lake hike goes up a ridge overlooking beautiful blue Lake Abraham on Highway 11.
 Nathan and Dave took turns carrying Evalyn with Esther taking the last turn. 
  The trail was significantly longer and steeper than the book led us to believe but eventually we arrived at Allstones Lake – a small quiet lake in the mountains. We always put at least our feet in the water.                                                      
 Evalyn was an angel for the whole hike.
 Herm had fun taking pictures of flowers and butterflies. The flowers were beautiful but nothing outstanding whereas he was making friends with this blue who landed on his knee.
 This hike was so beautiful that we are inspired to do more hiking in David Thompson country.
