Description
Take Lake Louise Road to the Christina Lake Trailhead, near Fiddlers Lake. The Silas Lakes Trail rises gradually through woods with short climbs. At about 2 miles, take the left trail at the junction for Christina Lake. This trail doesn't climb too much, and eventually merges with Cristina Lake 4WD Road. Some short ups and downs on this road terminate at Christina Lake Reservoir.Pass some well used campsites along the lake and continue on the now slightly more aggressive Atlantic Lake Trail. The pristine Atlantic Lake will appear from the woods in a few miles. This is an excellent spot to enjoy lunch and the views of Atlantic Peak drainage. More lakes and the towering Atlantic peaks are further up the drainage, waiting for those who care to continue the adventure.
