Lake O'Hara

We hadn't seen Frank and Tiiu in a while, so they joined us for a ski up the Lake O'Hara fire road.


Great Divide Trail

The Great Divide (also known as the Continental Divide) is the jagged line that divides both North and South America between the areas that drain into the Pacific Ocean and the areas that drain into the Atlantic Ocean.

Moraine Lake Road

When I saw that the Banff National Park trail report had Moraine Lake Road listed in "good" condition, I knew it was time for my first ski day of the year!

Raspberry Ridge

Snow levels are putting an end to the hiking season along the Bow Valley. We were hoping that heading south would give us a bit more time.

East End of Rundle

Somehow, I've never topped out on the south summit of Mount Rundle.

Skaha

I did not bring my camera on this trip, as I wanted to focus on the climbing.

Cory and Edith Passes

Summer is officially over, but there is still lots of warm weather to take advantage of, and I wanted a good look at Mount Louis after the half-glimpses from the highway at 100 km/h.

Read's Tower

I had wanted to check out Mount Sparrowhawk for the coming ski season, and decided to add Read's Tower to the day as well since it was in the neighbourhood.

Picklejar Lakes

After the aggressive destinations the last few weeks, I decided to join Carol and Simon to do something a little more leisurely.

Northover Ridge

Gillean Daffern considers this the best backpacking trip in all of the Canadian Rockies, and we decided to do the entire thing in one day.
