93. Bertha Lake

 Distance: 11km

Elevation gain: 460m

Seonju, Sally and we set out in a more relaxed fashion today since our big hike was done. Once again, the burnt trees allowed lots of sunshine and views. The fireweed was ready to bloom and cover the hillsides.



The falls were beautiful. Then we discovered the bridge was still washed out from the fire so we followed Herm up a steep cross country junction to join a horse trail and continue.

The special flower on this trail was the queen's cup.

 

 The tiring amount of uphill and pesky horseflies was balanced with the continuous fluttering company of colourful butterflies (fritillary, police car, and swallowtail) and beautiful flowers until we finally reached the lake.

The beach was along another edge so we continued in order to eat and swim in style.
