55. Assiniboine Lakes-Nublet

Distance: 11km circuit
Elevation: 540 metres to Nublet

Tuesday, July 26, dawned sunny and warm. We were all up for an easier, shorter walk in the environs of the camp. We set out after 10 am.
The first little lake was Sunburst.
We walked beside it to the next one.
Cerulean Lake, circling a distinctive mountain with scree piles.
The next one was Elizabeth Lake where we soaked our feet and ate lunch. A few girls from the lodge made a practice of dunking in all 4 lakes (Magog also) on nice days.
After a leisurely lunch, we started up the ridge to the pass for an overview.
From the pass the trail back down to the lodge looked more inviting than the trail up to the Nublet, so I went down while most of the others went up for a better look and pictures.
It was getting close to 5:00pm and the clouds were coming in as usual so everyone hurried down to beat the rain and enjoy a drink and cake at the lodge.
Shelter and rest for weary hikers at the lodge with a view of Magog, the 4th lake.
