As expected our location proved to be quiet through the night.  We woke to a beautiful morning.  We walk through to the Upper Village to find a place for breakfast.  We find a nice little bakery and have coffee and bacon and cheese fritatta.  We grab a table outside and enjoy the sunshine while within view of the Mountain and the Olympic Rings to do the crossword in the paper.

After breakfast we head out to Lost Lake and the path along the Chateau Whistler Golf Course.

The walk to Lost Lake is beautiful.

Some of the many chairs placed along the trail

Beautiful shot of Lost Lake with the Whistler Mountain behind

Interesting flowers we found along the path. Discovered they are called Orange Hawkbits

Austria Haus. This was used by Austria during the 2010 Olympics

A sign explaining the history (8 years 🙂 )

Another view of Lost Lake

The mountai behind the Lupines. (We learned the name of the flowers from another walker on the trail 🙂 )

A little tadpole along with his shadow

A dog out swimming for the ball his owner threw

Stu taking some beautiful photos

It looks like giant leaf lettuce. From what I found online it could be Skunk Weed. We did smell weed on the trail 🙂

my hand to show the size

This is “old man’s beard”. Something we learned last year from Adam at Christina Lake. We gathered it there to help start our camp fires.

The wooden trail along Lost Lake

We make the loop and watch more golfers on the second hole.  We spot a trail that runs along the side of the fairway and decide to follow it.  Not far along we see this.  Hmmmm.  It is bear season.  We turn around and go back to the more travelled trail.

After Lost Lake we to go through Blackcomb Village.  Yesterday Whistler Village was hopping with activity.  Here in Blackcomb it is almost deserted.  There are a few mountain bikers, but really very quiet in comparison.  We feel we have earned a beer, but not much to watch here so we head back into Whistler Village and decide to have a bear at Beacon Pub.

Back to our hotel to watch some of the US Open.

This was our walking route today. I didn’t start the tracker until after our breakfast. 10km so far today.   It is a magnificent day!!

Tough Mudder starts tomorrow.  We are seeing people who we believe are participants arriving into the village.  We may try to watch some of the festivities.
