Write Up:What a great day for a hike and with such great company! Ralph and
I got to the trailhead at 9:30am and we reached the top of the
pass by 12pm. So many stories were shared as we climbed up
(me...slowly, Ralph easily), and we had a moment of rain but the
tree hut at the top made a great lunch stop. The low hanging
clouds, the mist, the blue sky, the dew lit trees and flowers,
were spectacular. There is so much water flowing at the base and
made for some very skillful hopping moments. Some rain on the
descent, but it was warm out. We brought our layers and that
should be a must for anyone heading in the mountains these days.
We finished at 2:40pm and got some refreshments at the Kananaskis
gas station near the winter gate to finish off our day. Great day,
thanks for joining me and looking forward to the next hike.
