"I wanted to hit some higher peaks Today, but was feeling a little under the weather, so I looked for something close by, something we hadn't done yet. When you hike/climb as much as we do, that's difficult to do !! There was a spot height of an area called Painted Rocks, in one of the nearby parks, I added it here and decided to go grab it. To start off with, we followed the usual trail to Blue Mountain (Charleston Lake Provincial Park). The intention then, was to take a left at the junction of Blue Mtn/Huckleberry Hollow, head to Huckleberry Hollow and Bushwhack to the summit. A few miles down the trail we came to yet another junction, a 3 way, Blue Mtn, Huckleberry Hollow and Mud Lake. The spot height/summit was directly on the Northern side of Mud lake, overlooking the lake, so plans changed at that point. We then followed a trail (more like a heard path) to Mud lake. Walking clockwise around the lake, and over a frozen creek (I advise anyone doing this in Summer, to go anti-clockwise as the creek would be impassable) we continued from there to bushwhack, finding where we were going was pretty straight forward from this point, it was just a case of negotiating the terrain, to fi..." — HikingViking • Mar 11, 2017

"My Dad wanted to do a short local hike, but wanted to do something new that we hadn't done before.
