Horseshoe Lake on an autumn day

Spent a stunning weekend at Horseshoe Lake with only two other parties. Larches were almost peak gold. Sliding over and squatting under the blowdowns makes for a full body workout. For certain sections, there's no real trail anymore but the cairns do not lead you astray - follow them! The trail was very busy until the Colchuck turn-off. A lot fewer people go to Stuart and even fewer make the hike up to Horseshoe.
