MOUNT BLAKISTON
Elevation: 2910m
Difficulty: Moderate Scrambling
Round Trip Time: 6-10 hours
Height Gain: 1410 m
Map: 82 G/1 Sage Creek

Ease of both approach and ascent has established Waterton's highest point as a most popular scramble. A well graded approach trail leads to steep but direct rubble slopes guaranteed to have the fittest of people puffing to the top. Energetic parties can undertake an enjoyable traverse to include Mounts Hawkins and Lineham. Carry an ice axe for any remaining snow patches.
