If you fancy a day off skiing it’s well worth taking a walk up to Lost Lake – this is proper British Columbia mountain scenery at its best. You might be lucky enough to spot a bear (at least at times of year where they’re not all hibernating), so keep your eyes peeled. It’s best early or really late in the season as the paths turn into cross country ski trails for the winter.
Updates
"lucky" is not the word we use to describe a hiker who gets close enough to a bear to "spot" one. Lost Lake is in bear country and the bears own it. Read up on safety in bear country before you put on your hiking boots.
