East End of Burns
We did this hike Sunday June 24, 2018. I did some reading and discovered this hike was relatively forgotten; not much was written and not many people seemed to hike it. We parked at the end of the Sheep River road and began our hike. I knew we would need to do some bushwhacking from…
Gunnery Mountain
This was the first hike of the season for three of us. We did it Saturday April 28, 2018. Present company was Sandy, Ryan, Curtis and I. It took about 4.5 hours and we gained around 600m elevation. The hike has 2 trailheads. We chose the one a bit further down the road (the second…
Ribbon Falls to Ribbon Lake
We did this hike Sunday, September 10th. It was just Curtis and I. After an entire summer of no hiking due to knee injury, forest fires, and selling 2 houses (and buying a house); we finally managed to get out for a hike. Both of us have always wanted to do this one because it’s…
Protection Mine
I’m a little late on posting this! We did this hike Saturday July 22, 2017. Present company was Curtis, Ryan, Sheldon, Chris, Nick, Paula, Chris (two Chris’!), and myself. the trailhead is a bit obscured. It’s directly north of the abandoned Protection Mountain campground off of 1A. Head to the campground and then keep going…
Rae Glacier
A great hike and a great day. It was 27-28 at the top with no wind. Round trip was about 5 hours. The views were spectacular, especially of Rae Glacier.
Midnight Peak – Take 2
We finally completed this hike on Saturday June 24, 2017. Present company was Ryan, Sheldon, Curtis, and myself. Unlike the first time, this hike up wasn’t as muddy or icy; making it an easier vertical. It was our first summit of the season and it was a spectacular first. The hike up was mixed between…
The Wedge
We did this hike Saturday June 3, 2017. Present company was Curtis and I. We got a very early start because our original plan was to hike to upper Galatea lake but when we arrived, it was closed for environmental issues. Our fallback was The Wedge, right next door. the hike started off as a…
Mount Stanley Waterfalls
So this wasn’t really a mountain but it was close to Mount Stanley off of 93. Present company was Ryan, Sheldon, Dorothy, Derek (Dorothy’s friend), Curtis and myself. We did this snowshoe Saturday January 28, 2017. The forecast was for 11 in Calgary so it was a great opportunity to get out in the mountains.…
Crypt Lake
This hike was done on Saturday July 9, 2016. Curtis and I decided to stay over Friday and Saturday night, making it easier on us (and to give us more sleep). I would recommend staying at least the night before so you can sleep in a bit. There are two boats to this hike: one…
Midnight Mountain – Baldy Pass
We did this hike Saturday March 12, 2016. It was our first hike of the season. Present company: Sandy, Curtis, and myself. This was the hike I was supposed to do last summer but got started on the wrong path and ended up doing the Baldy saddle. We got an early start and were the…
