Canada: Day 5 - Exploring Chilliwack and Hike to Lindeman Lake

Rok and me were spending our vacation in BC, Canada. On our 5th day we explored our home city of Chilliwack, the 7th largest in British Columbia, located 102 kilometres southeast of Vancouver. The city has around 100000 inhabitants and is bounded on the north by the Fraser River, and on the south by the Canada-United States border. Poppy, Nataša's dog, accompanied us on this city tour. In the afternoon Nataša's housemate Cassie asked us, if we want to join her with Lucy and Lily (her dogs) on a short walk. We took quite a long drive to the East, where we parked our car. Afterwards we did the hike to Lindeman Lake, a turquoise lake surrounded by dense forest and mountain peaks. Unfortunately it was too cold to swim, so we explored the area around it and then we returned back home.

Previous days of our trip to Canada: Day 4, Day 3, Day 2 and Day 1.

Cassie bathed Lucy and Lily

Average depth is 8 m, while the maximum reaches 20 m.

 

You can also camp near the lake. Since there are bears around, you can store your belongings above the ground.
