I went on a long hike with my wife today, so I only found time now to type up and post this week's hiking post. For this week, I'm going to cheat a bit a post about Four Lakes Trail at Alice Lake Provincial Park again; but we go back during winter time. We actually hiked this trail in winter first, back in January 2022; and the summer hike was done in September 2023. Because Alice Lake Provincial Park is located quite up north, so it gets a lot of snow fall during winter and the lakes also freeze over. We saw a lot of foot prints on the frozen lake and even saw some people walking on Alice Lake. During our hike, we only visited 3 lakes and skipped Fawn Lake. The winter views are definitely different, with snow everywhere and most things frozen. Seeing the views and the frozen surroundings gave me a sense of serenity and peace. We pretty much hiked the same route as the summer trail. Although the winter views were different, there were still quite a bit of similarities compared to the summer views. After all, it is still the same place, just a different time.
