Minewanka lake

Last August was the perfect time to go camping, we deciced to go camping in Two Jake campground for some reasons. There are three lakes close together. So, during the day we can go to those lakes for couple minutes by walk. Feel the nature and admire the perfect landscaping around it.

Lake Minewanka is the biggest lake in this area, great for scubadiving or fishing, as it says on historical site that is underwater old city , which this city was existed years ago in the area. I love the colour of the lake, looks really blue.
In Minewanka Lake we can go hike for about 1 hour, there is Minewanka Canyon with wooden bridge between hills.
We went for swimming in Johnson Lake, it is big enough for swimming and canoeing. The stream is for water flowing from the lake with the wooden bridge, create the beautiful natural landscaping.

Hubby in Two Jake Lake. He enjoy to walk across the lake to get the small island by the layed wood bark.


Johnston Canyon in summer. We went there in spring roadtrip for the first time. Because this place was close from Two Jake Campground, so we went back there and we had plan to go hike up the top of the hill to see the Inkpot. Johnston Canyon always look fantastic with its nature.
So, this is Inkpot, we hiked up there for more 3 km from the Johnston Canyon Upper Fall. Well, it is not really far, but the trail is up and down the hill, so litle bit tiring. but I made it , yay...!! The Inkpot is like pond with 4 different colours ( I think, I forgot what it says on siteboard ), dominant to blue, green and yellow. The bubble come up from the ground create a wave of mud in the bottom of the pond.
This place is remind me about my picture that I like to draw when I was kid he he he. Mountain for background, cloud, blue sky, some trees and the meadow. I was walking to the creek there.
