Crest Mountain July 3, 2009

Officially the trail is closed but if your family doesn't weigh more than mine (300 kg) the bridge that crosses between Drum lakes, (about 1.5 metres above the water) seems perfectly safe. Eight boards need replacing so avoid those ones - the timbers below will last forever, according to a couple of local loggers.

The Elk River Trail had plenty of cars at the trail head, but we had Crest all to ourselves. The M & Ms kept the kids moving uphill, the tarn at the top was wonderfully refreshing and the panorama spectacular. A great day.
