Rockbound Lake

A very long forested approach, but the lake was quite nice, especially from up high. It was also surprisingly cold at the lake compared with the forest. I can’t wait to come back and climb Castle Mountain.

The lake was constantly changing colours depending on the sunlight and clouds moving across the sky.

A hiking lesson I’ve learned: it’s always worth it to try getting above a lake if you can - the colours are so much better from above.
