We camped at the Strathcona Dam campsite
on our way and it poured all night
on our way and it poured all night
it was still raining the next morning as we headed for Gold River
then south into Kunlin Lake
the road had some crazy washouts
so we took it slow
and made our way up to the lookout where we would camp
lots of room for us all
looking east a fantastic view of Kunlin Lake
then the clouds started to roll in again
lots of snow still on the peaks and rain on us
we kept nice and warm under the tarps
time to investigate and do some 4x4ing
beautiful waterfalls were everywhere
the road had turned into a river
and we had to cross this creek...our 4Runner did great
Den & Kerrie had it easier on their quad
the river flowed right through this log
the sun came out and we headed for the lake
cloudy but the lake was lit up
Den fishing just off shore but no bites
some huge old growth...a few were left
the powerful river flowing out of the lake
rain can't stop us from a ride on the quad
washouts as we head to the bluff
and more beautiful waterfalls
looking west a stunning view of Kunlin Lake from the bluff
It was a wild and wet weekend but we had a great time
Wow Russ, what a great adventure. Looks like you had the right vehicles for the trip, great shots of the roads!
ReplyDeleteI've been to Star Lake, and assume you keep going past Star, is that right? Did someone in your group know the way?
The photos, as always, are fantastic. Thanks for sharing this great trip report!

Hi Arlene and Russ,
ReplyDeleteSure do like your photos! Perfect shots, keen detail. All of it a delight to the eye. Never even knew there WAS a Kunlin Lake. Thanks for exploring all that great terrain.
