Itinerary description

|
Show original
A beautiful route despite the views obscured by the fires in the area, after all a reality and something very common in the Rockies during the summer and, in this case, in an abnormal autumn. Despite this, the views of the Saskachewan Glacier are incredible and better than what I was able to capture on camera.

Before reaching the end of the trail, we made a small detour to get another panoramic view of the mountains and then retrace our steps and go to the Saskachewan Glacier viewpoint.

The entire path is fully signposted and there is no loss.
