Monashee Park – Valley of the Moon
If you have the opportunity to stay one extra day at Peters Lake in Monashee Provincial Park and you have already hiked Mt. Fosthall, then another good hike is to climb to Fawn Lake and beyond to the Valley of the Moon.
From Big Peters Lake, take narrow trail up the draw on the signed Margie Lake Trail, but watch for the junction and the trail (on your left) to Fawn Lake.
Climb up the thinly forested hillside and then through open alpine slopes. Proceed around the right side of Fawn Lake (which I thought would make a great camping spot) and climb into the open terrain of Valley of the Moon. The plateau sits at over 2000m so you will find open meadows, wildflowers, rocky ledges, numerous tarns, and exploration terrain. The route up across Gates Ledge is a gradual incline, but we couldnt see much on that day. We want to return to this hike on a blue sky day to explore the upper part of Gates Ledge with views beyond to Mt. Odin.
