Skoatl Point in the Fall — 2 Comments

  1. Skoatle point is agreat hike. It is a volcanic plug made of Basalt collums that vary in size from 10 in to 19 in. When you get to the top of an easy climb, you will find the surface an interesting mozaic of Hexagonal tiles ( the tops of the Basalt collumns ) This is very unique. There is also a cairn at the top with a visitors book you can sign. Take a pencil with you (and leave it behind for others ) You may also wish to take a sip of the Five Star that used to be inside the cairn. Adler lake is swimable and a pleasant stop over. Take lunch and a camera with you for the top. I counted 17 lakes or visible depressions from the top of Skoatle .The clearer the day the better the view and try to avoid windy days. It’s no joke up top. Enjoy

  2. I would have really enjoyed that outing! Thanks for the photos, Doug. Our snow has gone from the valley floor here in Whistler and the temps have warmed up, bringing more Pine mushrooms for an end of season harvest. Lots of snow in the alpine now. Hope to get up to Garibaldi Lake on my next days off. Went up Helm Creek a couple of weeks ago.
