| Johnson Lake |
We got an early start 9:10 (for us it is early) and headed for nearby Lake Winniwonka but saw a sign pointing to Johnson Lake and decided to go see it too.

| Friendly fellow |
Johnson is a cold clear mountain lake with a 1.5 mile trail around it. We hit the trail and seemingly at every turn, we encountered another beautiful view of mountains and lake – clicking on, I took some pictures of a woman fly fishing from a float tube. She was the only fisherman on the lake and I was envious. (We met her in the parking lot later and she had caught a few brookies.)

| She told us she got Saturday morning to fish |
About 2/3 of the way around the lake were 2 red Adirondack chairs on a high hill above the lake – of course we had to sit awhile and contemplate the beauty around us. It turns out the Canada Parks system is placing chairs like these on beautiful spots throughout the country.
After our walk, we continued to Winniwonka and while it was beautiful, it was overrun with people and lots of commercial boat rides, power boat rentals and just didn’t have anything like the wilderness flavor we had just experienced at Johnson Lake.

Tonight, the weather was great and I broke out my griddle for the gas grill and whipped up a batch of my famous (to Mary at least) cranberry pancakes. YUM!
