Rainbow Lake & the River of Golden Dreams

Frank and the Rainbow Lake Trail (Take a closer look at the boardwalk!) and Susan on Alta Lake
Frank and I arrived in Whistler, British Columbia on Monday evening late. Initially, we weren't sure about Whistler, but the last couple days have been great, and the weather is looking up for the next several days!

Tuesday - it rained, and we got our bearings.
Wednesday - hiking, 11 miles up to Rainbow Lake. This was a HARD trail - straight up with rocks, roots, bogs, steep mud slopes, and my favorite - lots of mosquitos.
Thursday - kyaking from Alta Lake along the River of Golden Dreams, which was really pleasant, serene, and beautiful. So what if we heard the whir of chainsaws along the way!

Today it's up the gondola to the tops of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. Somewhere up there people are still skiing on the glacier.
