Trip with Kevin P and Dave S.  This was a plan B or C as we decided not to cross the river for Skogan and we were looking for something that we all had not done given the time, etc.  We drove to Nakiska and walked the service road around the right side of the [...]

Waterton Monday Sept 6/2010 – forecast was wrong – snow on the ground and rained and snowed on and off all day.  Would be easy scenic hike on nice day. Good execise – ignored overgrown cutline which would have been very wet thrash and followed trail into forum lake and up to ridge west of [...]

We really did steal a day weather wise as we had good weather and even some sun and yet we drove back through rain at LL and Banff.  Nice to get both peaks and these are really two different scrambles. Walcott (North peak) is listed as an Easy scramble but the scree gully is very [...]

Heart loop was a good training run after being rained out on Sat. Hard to believe Kev has done the first part of Heart 15+ times and had never done the loop. I am impressed at how good the trail is now on the last leg of the loop although the last time I did [...]

Copper Mtn and the Curious Goat – Copper is probably the least visited of the Banff Kane peaks and there is minimal trail and no cairns until the top.  It has a reputation as a confusing ascent as Dow, Sonny, Gary and Dave Stephens all did not find the easy way up!  Sonny and Gary [...]

We debated the stream crossing for Mary Barclay and should we just take bikes but decided how deep could it be – well – too deep and fast – so plan B became Limestone Mountain and the Lime Wedge ridge. I was expecting more and better trail but okay bits – easy to lose as [...]

  Kevin, Aspen and I were looking for an easy snow free day which is hard to get this spring.   We decided on Gunnery becasue Kevin had looked at it on Sat as he and Wietse came back from a waist deep wallowing exercise on Pasque.  Gunnery is just on the North side of the road [...]

Saturday was forecast as showers but it was the day I could get away so I picked something easy from Andrew Nugara’s guidebook.  I was suprised at how good the trail was in the trees.  Good grade but steady uphill and basically out of the trees in a little over an hour. The ridge has some steps/outcrops [...]

I will let Kevin Papke tell this story. His posts from the RMB Outdoor Forum With Bill Kerr and Dave Salahub we adventurous souls drove away south for a garrentee’d target. A minor peak at the south end of the Livingston Range. After almost 3 hrs drive from home we finally left the car at [...]

Good shoulder season trip with Wietse, Vern and Kelly. Would not want much more snow than this but worked out okay despite full on snow bizzard at the summit.  Powderface trail closes on Dec 1 so one of the last weekends to try this.   RT was 8.5 hrs and about 21 km and about 1100 [...]
