Old Baldy hike

Fall colours are almost at their peak and 24 of us took to the boats in two groups on Thursday, 25 Sept., to get a good view of the fall foliage from Old Baldy on Flack Lake. Group 1 left Sears at 9am and group 2 at 10. Group 1 went anti-clockwise around the trail and group 2 clockwise. We coincided for lunch at the Flack Lake overlook. As you can see, we were not disappointed. A perfect hiking day and lots of colour.
