Please do not sign up if you need to be back for another commitment. The views from Raspberry Ridge are excellent with Crowsnest Mountain visable to the south and Mt. Burke visable to the east. There are two options to get to the lookout. We'll be taking the steeper, more direct route up (300m in about 1 km) and for variety and to save the knees, the switchback route down.
