Here's some pictures I took this weekend on a hike that my wife and I went on to Shadow Lake Lodge. Great weekend for a hike in the mountains.
We went in from the North and went out to the South. Total distance was around 30km up and down.
Edited to add a map of the hike. We went in via Arnica Lake Trail and Gibbon Pass trail and then went out via Redearth Creek Trail:

Excellent time was had by us both. I'd recommend Shadow Lake Lodge for anyone who likes hiking and the mountains.
Great food, people and stellar scenery.
