Pavillion Lake is FREAKIN' nice!

Did I mention how clear this lake is, with the cool stolomites that are being studied by NASA? Trout swimming everywhere. Makes for good photos!
Check out my DB gallery http://gallery.deeperblue.net/showga...r/1855/cat/500

Willer and I will post more about this later. Must run!

Re: Pavillion Lake is FREAKIN' nice!

Geez, why didn't you tell me you guys were going there!!! I was trying to arrange some people to go, and I decided not to go the last 2 weeks because there was nobody available. Argh. Anyhow, I wrote to those involved in the study after hearing about it for the first time a few weeks back from a CBC "The National" broadcast. No response so far. I want to go there this summer, so if anybody is interested in another trip, let me know and lets arrange it.

Cheers,

Tyler

Re: Pavillion Lake is FREAKIN' nice!

Looks cool. Give us some driving times/distances, so we can make future plans.

Re: Pavillion Lake is FREAKIN' nice!

Ideally, if we can arrange to meet there for the first weekend in August..!
I'll call the local scuba shop, maybe a few there would be interested in joining us. We'll try to get access to a boat because there is a nice wall of stolomites on the side opposite the highway- otherwise there is quite a lot of accessible formations near the campground itself (lakeside). 17$ per tent at the Sky Blue Resort. Trout is not legal to spearfish, but some people bring their fishing rods

Pavillion Lake: 115 km (71.5 mi) from Kamloops via Hwy 99 north of Lillooet. [Troll for] rainbow up to 1.5 kg. Marble Canyon Provincial Park is located at the south end of the lake (where that waterfall pic was taken- tho we didnt dive there). http://www.tourismkamloops.com/index.asp?p=44
