The Wednesday trip scheduled for snowshoes on Mt. Washington was cancelled because the rain was pretty thick. Instead five of us took advantage of a day off from the rain on Thursday and walked around Morte Lake. It was a lovely Spring day for a walk and Morte Lake did not disappoint. We had lunch at the far end at the sandy beach and returned via the Nirvana bike trail up to the viewpoint and back to the trailhead on Dead Fish. 11.4km; 4¼ hours.
