This trip might bemade easier by taking saddle horses as far as Moraine is a combination of several excursions described elsewhere,and gives a great variety of highly interesting scenery. Page Thirty-eight. LAKE OHARA AND MOUNT LEFROY PART IV. LAKE OHARA REGION. Lake OHara and the upper part of Cataract Brook Valleyare unexcelled by any part of the mountains in variety andbeauty of scenery.

Hector may also be reachedby direct trail from the chalet (on foot or horseback) i
