69. Hidden Lake

Distance: 8km return?
Elevation gain: negligible

July 29, Sunday afternoon we went to Kananaskis to camp and enjoy 3 hikes.
We hoped to go to Rawson Lake and Sarrail Ridge late Sunday afternoon but alas bears had taken over the area and we were forbidden entrance.
We continued around Upper Kananaskis Lake a few more kilometres and went to Hidden Lake, our default plan.
A few kilometres from the trail head, was a lovely falls, great place for a snack and break from the many hikers.

The bear tape seemed to be serious so we continued on.

The views around the lake were clear and beautiful, much better that the previous year. We looked at Mt Indefatigible, reminisced about a past hike and rued the fact that it was also closed due to bears.

We found our turnoff to Hidden Lake and Herm suggested we swim since it was a warm day.

Hidden Lake hike was a good default choice and an easy start for our 3-day trip.
