The lake is the opening in the trees. The outing stays on shore: a defined circuit from Kueng Road, with room to turn back when winter asks for a shorter day.

Snow brings the hollow and its rim into focus. At Moore’s Meadow, a short walk can become a lesson in how a vanished block of ice still shapes Prince George.
