Itinerary: | |||||
Distance: 7.4km return
Elevation gain: 570m This is a short, scenic climb through a rubble-strewn valley leading to fine views of the foothills at the pass. From the highway, you climb moderately through an aspen forest on an old road that becomes a dirt trail by the time you cross the creek bed. Follow rock cairns into the narrow valley where the massive slopes are covered with rock debris shattered by frost action. A steep and rooty climb ensures on the south slope as you approach the limits of the subalpine zone and the last of the lodgepole pines. From the pass you enjoy excellent views that stretch north and east. Try climbing a short distance to the right for even better views. Have books/map will travel: please be warned that your event coordinator has not done this hike before but wants to check it out. Allow time/patience for unforseen circumstances please. :) Ref: GemTrek's Canmore and Kananaskis Village map. Note that this is a "moderate pace" trip. If you want to go slower, please sign up for the "slowpoke trip" posted for the same day. | |||||
