The Old Panorama Road

We went on this walk last year, or maybe the year before, but it was high time that we did it again...

It is a gorgeous walk going alongside Toby Creek, if a bit above.  I had always wondered if there was a road on the South side of the creek, as I could see it when we drove to the ski hill on the North side.  When my sister and her husband took us on this walk before I was amazed, but this time it was our turn to share it with someone.

We somehow managed to find the trailhead and we made our way down the long serene path.

Last time we made it to our destination, which was the remnants of an abandoned bridge crossing Toby Creek, but this time we ran into a bit of an... obstacle.  Last time we had reached a washout in the path, but we were able to scale across the rocks.  This time it was runoff season.

This was what we faced, and though the dogs weren't daunted by the water racing down the steep mountainside, we thought it best to hold off on completing the walk until another day.

Easter

I've recently come into a bit of time... a bit... not a lot... but I'll try and get things back up to speed, and if I'm lucky, I'll keep 'em that way...

So then there was an Easter egg hunt...
