Is that from the fire lookout along Pocaterra lookout trail? I haven't actually been on that trail yet, which I really ought to.

Yeah it is. On my map it's labeled Pocaterra and goes to the Kananaskis Fire Lookout. Silly.

This thread makes me want to go hiking in Canada. One day when I'm not longer a student and it won't pretty much annihilate my savings account in one fell swoop.

Canada is pretty neat, I have to say. I'm kind of obsessed with our Rockies, if you couldn't already tell. If you end up here and have questions, I can answer 99% of them.

After doing Ha Ling and most of Lady Mac (wtf is with that knifedge holy gently caress) I can see why this place is the tits. It's definitely made me consider relocating to Calgary to be closer to this place and hike a buttload more. I mean I already did it a lot but I could do it even more.

Yesterday I went out to the Savage Gulf Area in the Cumberland plateau. Did a ~13-mile loop down into this gorge and then back along the ridge top. Popular swimming hole at Greeter Falls Broadtree Falls was pretty quiet Ranger Falls, near the bottom of the gorge. The creek sinks underground here during the summer. The Stone Door, an enormous crack in the face of the bluff Nearly walked face-first into this nest hanging directly over the trail

I didn't finish Lady Mac, I got up on that ridge and said "Yep, that's good enough" I'm the red dot.

And that wasn't even the super sketchy part. I'm gonna have so many photos when I'm done here. Did Mt Bourgeau today, and because the people I was with were completely insane, we got up and down within 7 hours including two 15 minute breaks

That is impressive time for Bourgeau, I must say. It's known as a long day. The one time I tried it I was massively hungover so I only got as far as the lake half way up. I did do this hyperlapse when I was there though, because we decided we just wanted to hang out recuperating rather than keep going. It was a very pretty place to dick around for a few hours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnOke2igOQ0

That walk is making me feel uneasy, and I'm just sitting at a desk. What if it got real gusty while one was crossing

It does get SUPER gusty because that valley is a wind tunnel. You can hear it coming though so you can crouch down and hang on. I think there's only been one death on that ridge which is pretty impressive.

Heading out to Red River Gorge tomorrow. So far my favorite has been Cloudsplitter, great view and a fun little scramble up it. Nothing like being out away from everything.

Also hiked today for canada day and decided to follow an old section of the original alaska highway to celebrate that northern canadian heritage (the alaska highway turns 75 next year as well) you can still see the road but its now pretty overgrown you can get to a cool viewpoint over the modern alaska highway from where I was though: Some Dall sheep and their young were hanging out on nearby cliffs

People like birds, right? A great horned owl that I shot from my father-in-law's balcony in the country on Canada Day. We've been having some crazy storms the past few days here, it's been lovely.

We went backpacking. There was still a lot of snow. edit: John Muir Wilderness, forgot to say. McGee trail head to Duck Lake trail head. We saw one group of backpackers the first two days, it was A+++++. And there's a glacier in the third picture, it's just covered in snow.

25 mile hike + 8 on bike for the Assiniboine loop. After Lady Mac, Ha Ling, East Rundle, Mt Bourgeau, a walk in Banff, two trips up Cougar Creek, and the K100, ended up close to 100 miles of hiking/running and 20000 feet of vertical.

Do you have a larger/higher-res version of this? I would LOVE to set this as a wallpaper. Fantastic shots all around, but that one is special. vv Thanks! vv TotalLossBrain fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Jul 16, 2016 |

The popular Fiery Gizzard trail in Tennessee is being rerouted down off a ridge and in some sections are installing these ~350lb blocks (sandstone I think?) as steps. We used a pulley system to bring them down, but unfortunately I didn't get any good action shots.
