At Warspite Lake. There is a rough trail to go around the lake, but we were content at the shore to dip our feet.
You can see the trail lines circle around the lake and you can continue to Black Prince Mountain. During the Springtime, this would be a safe point to stop as avalanche danger increases at the other end of the lake. It's cool, refreshing, and one of the clearest non-glacial lakes I have been to.
As you can see, where the trail forks, both trails will lead you to the lake. If wanting to circle the lake, I would recommend a counter-clockwise fashion for more defined trail.
On a clear day, the Continental Divide and Mount Joffre would be visible.
First sign of life today! Surveying Pocaterra Ridge
On our way out, a deer was licking the road. It had me confused, but apparently there's salt on the road.
Below are pictures from a previous trip (Mount Tyrwhitt) of a side trip to the Blackshale suspension bridge. I figured it would be relevant here because this suspension bridge is actually just across the road from the Black Prince Cirque hike.
