Skaha Lake, BC



Sometimes the most beautiful places
in the world get overlooked because of their
proximity to the more celebrated locations.
Take Skaha Lake in the Okanagan
Valley region of British Columbia.
She sits south of bigger and much more famous
Okanagan Lake. The lake of the Ogopogo legends.
Who doesn't love a good elusive monster mystery.

Skaha Lake is part of the Okanagan River, which is
a tributary of the Columbia River. The Okanagan River drains the
Okanagan Valley east of the Cascades. And the Cascades
are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Lake Skaha certainly plays her part in the bigger picture
of British Columbia's geology and geography.

And she is a beauty. In the wintertime, she
is gorgeous.

Alouette Lake, British Columiba




Alouette Lake is located within
Golden Ears Provincial Park in
British Columbia, Canada.
Alouette Lake is a man made lake,
the water in it is fed
to Stave Lake via a tunnel, and
powers the Alouette Powerhouse.
She's a beautiful lake, 17 kms
long and has some great fishing.
There are remote wilderness campsites
along her shores, and an eye popping backdrop of
Edge Peak , Blanshard Peak,
and Golden Ears,
which are all part of the
Garibaldi Ranges.
No wonder so many movies are filmed
up here. Its a wilderness worthy
of poetry.
I am working my
way through visiting all of these
beautiful lakes, each has its own
character and charm, its own spirit
and place in the world.
Like man, they are all in some way
interconnected and depend on
each other, even if they don't know it.
Mother Nature teaches us so much
about ourselves, we just have to watch her
and listen to her.
Welcome to your life!
