Chilkoot Day 4...Happy Camp to Bare Loon Lake

Happy Camp to Bare Loon Lake

After a great sleep at Happy Camp, we were off early in the morning.
Above Long Lake

Looking back as the clouds rolled in...we sure picked the right day to come over the Summit

Heading down to Deep Lake Campground

 The first part of the day was really up and down to get us around Long Lake. We crossed a river at the Deep Lake Campground and stopped for lunch.
It was a cloudy day and it started to rain a bit after lunch.
The trail followed Deep Lake for a bit and along a very long canyon all the way to Linderman.The Parks Canada folks stay at Linderman and there is a campground and cabin there.

We stopped at the cabin for a snack and continued on to Bare Loon Lake. The sun came out again and it warmed up nicely.

Our last night on the trail

Bare Loon Lake is off the Chilkoot valley so the lake was isolated and warm...even went for a swim.
We had a great campsite... apparently the neighbours were kept awake by someone snoring.
