Chalice Lake and Grail Falls

Hey

Here are a few pics from a recent stroll up to Grail Falls and Chalice Lake (we also wandered through to Tent Tarn) on the Cathedral plateau.

Thanks to christhebulldog and speculator who joined myself and two other mates for the day.

Weather was overcast for most of the day which made for comfortable walking conditions......we had some very slight drizzle later in the afternoon for about half an hour.

Certainly is a beautiful spot, and as speculator noted earlier, it would be a great spot to spend a couple of nights to wander the plateau as some others on this forum have done recently.

Anyway, here are a few pics from the day........

Thanks for the photos, Phil. It certainly is a great place to wander around and explore.

Never heard of any of the places but you've certainly whetted my appetite. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Ian
