 Three Lakes Hike

Details

This version of the hike will begin at the Westwood Lake parking area near the washrooms. We will start by heading northward around Westwood lake until we reach the access trail connecting to Brother 5 and Basket Case trails which will take us to Witchcraft Lake. Once we get to Witchcraft Lake, we will double back on the Outer Bypass and continue south and either climb onto Westwood Ridge (we may have a snack here) or follow either one of the flanking trails towards the Morrell Sanctuary and lake. We will then return to Westwood Lake parking lot. The route isn't flat of course, but outside of climbing onto the ridge which could cause a bit of heavy breathing for about 15 minutes or so, any other climbing is fairly moderate. About 13 to 14 kms in length taking about 4 to 4.5 hours or there abouts.
