Boom Creek and Lake.
My camp in this area is pitched beside Boom Creek about
half a mile from the road. Being in the thick spruce woods
everything is very damp. Just below (s [south]) of my camp is a small
area of sphagnum muskeg. Here mice seem to be very abundant.
About 3 miles through the woods along the trail to Boom Lake
is another and more extensive area of sphagnum bog. On the
west of this area are steep mountains with extensive talus
slopes at their bases. To the east the hills are not as steep
or rocky, having open grassy slopes near the tops. Boom Lake
itself is shut in on three sides by mountains and thick
woods, on the third side the ground is very marshy and the
trees not quite so thick.
Distance from Banff 27 miles west.
Distance from Kootenay Park 2 miles east.
Altitude camp 5600'
Lake 6000 to 6500'.
