Jordan, Pat, Dave and I (along with faithful guide Kyra the dog) set out on a journey up into the alpine of Powell River's beautiful backcountry early on July 18th. After a 2.5 hour drive, it took about 3.5 hours of steep climbing to get to Emma Lake and the forest service cabin. This was made all the more difficult by my 10 week old pregnancy! I battled some pretty severe fatigue for the first hour, but it seemed to get better after that despite coming into a couple feet of snow about halfway up. Here's some of my favorite photos from the day

The lake was freezing but Kyra didn't seem to mind!
