Dist: 3.2km Elev: 30m Time: 1.5h Difficulty: 1/5After over a year of planning their big blog debut, Melinda and I finally found a weekend to plan a hike with the Reimer Family! We considered a few other family-friendly alternatives but finally settled on Johnson Lake for its promise of beautiful mountain scenery and a relatively short and flat route. This hike offers a nice little loop around the lake with constant views of surrounding peaks and forestry. Johnson Lake turned out to be the perfect way to spend a morning in the mountains with great friends and two little adventurers.
