A man with a baseball cap and his winter beard stands on a mossy trail above a lake. The sun is low in the sky, barely above the mountain ridge. Kawkawa Lake in Hope BC

St’ám’ya aka Hope Mountain rises above Q’ówqèwem aka Kawkawa Lake. Large firs line the near shore. A sun flare is seen in the lower left.

The views from our chilly hike yesterday afternoon! #prettysroad St’ám’ya #Hopemountain
