Assiniboine From Nub Peak

A hike up the Nublet and up to Nub Peak is a a nice half-day hike from Magog. You get one of the legendary views in the Canadian Rockies - Mount Assiniboine with its three green lakes below.   The clouds had been rolling in all day and a few looking blacker and blacker - but they stayed in the distance. Well, they stayed in the distance until we reached a plateau just below Nub Peak where we stopped to enjoy this view! The top of the peak is a short climb from here and I understand it gives a 360 view of Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park. Definately reason to go back to Assiniboine!   So the clouds did roll over Nub Peak. Time to pack up and head on down. The rain started. Then the hail! I was worried about lightening so I scurried down!
