Five Lakes Hike in May
We drove just outside Jasper Village on Sunday to one the many unmarked trail heads, only the presents of a gravel lot and porta-potty marks its existence. This one the Five Lakes trail. The lakes are named Lake 1, Lake 2, Lake 3, Lake 4, and Lake 5… Yes imaginative. We head on to the trail, winding through the trees at steady incline. Then the first lake (Lake 2, or 3 I believe). The turquoise water, actually is is amazing the different shades of turquoise to be found. The reflection of the trees in the colored water… the Original Watercolor… And so we hike around the lakes, then along a small valley looking down among trees and bushes. One lake was not a lake. At least for now. The water table needs to rise a bit. A pig might enjoy it though.
