Chester Lake and Three Lakes Valley Off-Trail hike on 16-Jul-2026
After twice changing plans due to unexpected closures first the Sawmill parking lot and second the Headwall lakes trail we decided on Chester lake and Three lakes valley.Certainly Alberta Parks seems to have an inexhaustible supply of yellow crime scene tape. Anyways we ended up having a very enjoyable day. Back at the cars at the early hour of 3 pm.
