Connors Lake - Backpacking and Adventuring - Part I

In late June we embark on a journey to Connors Lake in heart of the Kootenays but immediately run into obstacles. Doubting we'd accomplish them, it felt like our long awaited adventure might disappear into thin-air. Nevertheless, we pulled through and continued living, I guess.

Initially we were supposed to backpack Mount Assiniboine but a late season snowpack kept us from venturing forth so we found a good back up plan. Nature dad's Dexter, Eric, Indy (best pooch), and Yannick invite you to watch Part 1 of our adventure!

This hike is and in and out trail near Elkford, British Columbia. It is located in Height of the Rockies provincial park and is roughly 30km long and features campsites at the south and north end of the lake. One feature is the cabin equipped with a wood burning stove at the north end of the lake. This cabin is a first come first serve and does not have bookings. We were lucky enough to get the cabin for our stay and it made for a welcome sanctuary as we warmed our bones and dried our boots by the wood burning stove.
