I completed the Provoking Lake loop variation on Wednesday, September 16th in order to gather information on the new detour I had read about before attempting the big loop. 

 

The detour is totally flat and fast but adds 5km to the small and large loops. It's a fun way to pick up some free speed. 

 

I had a very heavy pack on this day training for the big loop, so it was a bit slow going but a perfect fall day. 

 

There were a lot of friendly people day hiking and backpacking. 

 

Looking forward to the big loop (with detour) soon.
