We decided on the Dedication Trail South loop which is 9.8 kms total (plus 1.8kms to reach the trail start point). So off we went chatting away, taking the Corridor Trail up until reached up with the Dedication Trail. Unbeknownst to us, this is where we took a wrong turn. Helloooo revenge of the humble brag! Ha ha. We were chatting so much that we ended up taking the Dedication Trail clockwise instead of counter clockwise as planned. Without noticing. All we really paid quasi attention to was the blue trail marks (the trails are very well marked). So imagine our surprise a good 4 kms in that we were the exact opposite spot then where we assumed!
Doe Lake Trail is a 3km moderate hike that takes about an hour to complete, depending on your pace and how often you like to stop and take pictures (for me that’s about every 10 steps). This is a pretty pretty hike, there’s one official look out listed but there is actually three spots with benches and a view. Being on the trail early morning and alone was the perfect ‘walking mediation’. Complete joy. The birds were singing, the chipmunks were chasing each other, beaver dams were in abundance, the woodpeckers were out putting on a show.
