Recon of outer Pipestone Blue/Green Loop past Lake louise

Date/Time
Date(s) - Wed Oct 12 2022
8:45 am

Notes:

Have never hiked this Pipestone Loop but skied it at least 2 dozen times.   There is no issue with Lake Louise (LL) as it has its own parking lot, turning up hill first right past LL.  It is a picturesque loop hiking up alongside of Pipestone River then circles around past Pipestone Pond.  We might include a short visit to Mud Lake, which is a very easy popular snowshoe.  Grippers handy to have at this time of year.  Alltrails suggests the shorter version to Pipestone pond but I am hoping to go counter-clockwise to the top, making it 13 kms. total circuit.
