took a trek along a newish marked trail through the Macdonald Rainforest. I have explored this area in the past when there were no human trails. Now, a trail has been blazed through in the last few years and is easy to hike along now.
The trail starts at the Humpback reservoir and follows the shoreline for a bit before heading through the rain forest.
Ice was still covering the reservoir and snow patches still lingered here and there in the woods. the snow in the forest was slushy and melting while the snow out in the open was frozen and I could walk on top of it.
Lots of trees have fallen from the heavy snow and maybe some light storms that have come through the area. these are 3d images and if you cross your eyes and stare at the middle image you get a 3 dimensional image as if you were right there.
There is a rocky hill
to the east of the trail that I climbed for a view of Mt Finlayson in the distance.
A log I like to photograph whenever I am in the valley. A large old tree came down and balanced on top of an erratic left behind by the glaciers receding.
The trail ended up on an access road that led to the hydro power line that feeds from Bear Reservoir out near Jordan River. Huh! Didn't expect a an open roadway out there.
On the way back I walked along the old waterflow line that dumps into Humpback reservoir.
