We didn't move camp this day, but paddled across the lake and hiked 1.5 km up a hiking trail to "The Crack" to see the view.
It was a touch more than warm exerting ourselves on a hot summer day, but as the walk was not too long, and the nagging mother insisted we pack a days worth of water up to the "peak", none of us suffered worse then heavy perspiration and fatigue.
It was a lovely view from the top.
Looking east to Killarney lake, and O.S.A. lake beyond it, we could get a bit of an impression of our next day's journey in the distance. The day after we would be trekking to the farthest of that blue, and then one small lake beyond it yet. From here it looks rather daunting!
The kids were far more thrilled with the wild blueberries that we found than the glorious view. At least it kept them from running and jumping in dangerous places. The blueberry patch worked remarkably well as a grazing ground from our hungry "cattle". It also made them forget about their blisters. ;)

Great family shots. Were there other people up there? I love Matthew's pose. He looks like a natural.
It looks like a lovely place. I always love it when I come across wild berries -- always a wonderful opportunity to stop and graze and catch my breath. I would say we needed to stop and enjoy them but I really wanted to stop to have a break :) My boys caught on to my antics.
Nice family picture! Christmas card material:)
