This gave Todd and I some time to just go and enjoy a nice lunch together. So we drove to Fernie and up Fernie Mountain to the Island Lake Lodge. It's at about 1450m above sea level a nestled in the Kootney Range of the Rockie Mountains. They offer spa retreats, hiking trails, canoeing and catskiing in the winter. The lodge is only accessible by snowcat in the winter.
We sat on the sunny patio of the Tamarack Lodge and enjoyed the view of the Island Lake below. This pretty little fushia flower decorated our table.
Enjoying the view....

We each ordered a delicious meal off of the lunch menu to enjoy.
Todd had the Vandenburger Chorizo style lodge AAA local raised beef burger with apple wood smoked Cheddar tomato chutney and a chipotle rouille, served with chat potatoes.
I had the Moroccan spiced lamb sirloin with Israeli couscous salad of mint, parsley, chilies and sultanas in a roast garlic olive oil and lemon emulsion.
They were both super yummy and we enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere of the wilderness together. We had to basically eat and run since we only had our baby sitter for a few hours so off we went home again.
