Part 11 - Hike around Sylvan Lake

The interior of the lodge at Sylvan Lake

A view of Lake Sylvan from the lodge

Just getting started on the clockwise hike around the lake

The small beach is just visible here.

Kayakers in front of some really massive rocks.

The far end of the lake. You can just see the walkway over the dam, just above the water level.

The walkway along the top of the dam.

This cleft between two huge rocks is part of the trail.

The other side of the dam

This six-inch-wide waterfall is about ten feet back in a rock cleft.
