Rangers with chainsaws clearing the trail which was awesome! The varied terrain, spectacular glacier fed lake swim, and ice caves 8 min past the lake made for an epic day hike today. Give yourself lots of time. Left Nanaimo at 8:30, started hike at 10:30, came off trail at 3/4:00. Leisurely but athletic pace with 12 year olds and lots of photos and a relaxing lunch. Don’t want to rush this hike it’s is spectacular.
