Most
scramblers are oblivious to the fine little peak in Kootenay
National Park, probably because it is out of sight of the busy
Trans-Canada Highway. Starting mere minutes from Highway 93,
this steep but satisfying ascent requires no routefinding and
offers a view almost immediately. Apart from the final shaley
ridge the outing is little more than a strenuous hike. Try
from mid-june on. |
