Finally got some time to upload pics of my camping, well it was mainly hiking trip back on the weekend. We went to Lake O'hare in Yoho National Park, its backcountry so there is only one fire road to it, and its limited by only allowing one small shuttle to bring people in it was prestine wilderness. I travelled roughly 29km around the valleys, gained 380 meters the first hike and went up a alpine scramble which brought me roughly 2500 meters up it was great. Start of the day  High trail to lake Mcarthur Deepest lake in the rockies 85 meters making it a deep blue.  Mcarthur Lake  a nice little high plateu  Half way up the All souls alpine scramble  the only other thing up this high with me..a Goat lol  at the top at 2500 meters looking down on the main lake, Lake O'hare  the very very tiny path i took to Obain platue, all shale and very steep rocks kept coming down when i was walking  the plateu i was heading for  Looking back from the plateu after reaching it  a Boulder field i found myself scrambling through later in the day heading to Lake Oesa  a Plaque i found in the middle of no where lol  nearing the end i found a nice waterfall that only opens up some times  and my last destination  _________________

Thanks everyone for your comments.
Tomorrow or next weekend We will be heading back out to Yoho to the Little Yoho Valley, to do a fairly new trail called the iceline trail, its very high up you are with the glaciers, and miles of waves of rocks it looks very promising, so im gonna take some more pictures when i go.
