 | Hiking (6hrs total) 2:00:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Montrail CD |
| Tombstone Pass and lakes in Kananaskis. The drive in was foggy and very eerie. At the parking lot we saw two dudes telemark in. Hmm was the first thought. Least to say as we got further in the snow started to get higher and higher. Hiking in snow isn't quite as fun but we decided to to it and finished a 22km loop in the end. Tough going in some sections and I was doing some serious trail breaking. Highest sections were about half calve height (1 foot) with an average of ankle deep powder. Thank goodness for the seal skins or I would have died in the trail runners. For the most part you could have snowshoed or xc skied 3/4 of this hike. I would equate it to about the average amount of snow i see in the Dundas Valley at the height of winter or damn close to it right now in the deeper backcountry sections. CrAZy! However, the snow in the mountains and terrain made for awesome views and pics and just a good time even if it was probably hovering around 0 C with the windchill there.
Kananaskis village in the end for the normal celebratory food and drink. Kananaskis, I like you, can we kiss at recess. I've come to realize that K-country is totally wicked.
