How deep was the snow going to be at Finch Lake? What would the bushwhacking be like coming down the 'elevator' to Calypso Cascade? We had plenty of questions when we started out in the exceptionally cool morning. Our first glimpse up to Meeker, Pagoda and Chiefshead showed yet more snow had dusted the peaks.
We reached Finch Lake without battling too much snow, and even found a sunny spot to stop for lunch.
We decided to try the 'elevator' for our descent. Most of the unofficial fisherman's trail was under snow that tilted straight into Cony Creek. We followed the trail where we could, but when the snow became too difficult, we headed up the side of drainage, through downed trees and tiring pockets of snow. Finally the snow started thinning out, and the raging creek beside us was phenomenal.
