The approximate track of my hike up Griffin Lake Peak...

Chippewa Falls -- 660'

Chippewa Falls was an added bonus to this hike. It was located along the Trans-Canada just before my turnoff...how could I resist?

Chippewa Falls -- 660'

A bit closer look at Chippewa Falls...this is actually just the middle section...the lower is much larger but I think this section is prettier...

Chippewa Falls -- 660'

Yet another look at Chippewa Falls...I had to tear myself away, reminding my brain I still had a hike to do...

Mile 38 Road -- 650'

The best place to be on this road...behind a logging truck...they're a good shield against any loaded trucks coming the other direction...

Mile 38 Road -- 700'

I love Mile 38 Road...mostly because of scenes like this...

Tilley Lakes -- 860'

Another quick stop, this time at Tilley Lakes, just a few miles from the mountain...

Mile 38 Road -- 1,240'

My "new" truck deserves big kudo's for this hike. The 4-wheel drive made saved me four miles of hiking...oh, and no fish were harmed in the making of this photo...

Mile 38 Road -- 1,350'

This loose gravel hill was A LOT steeper than it looks here...

Griffin Lake Peak Trailhead -- 1,560'

This was where the drive ended...the trail begins to the right, in front of the truck...

Griffin Lake Peak Trail -- 1,600'

Seriously, is there anything better than a nice, cool autumn hike?
