From this point there is no moving forward, and some back-tracking is needed in order to gain that ridge. I can see there is already a couple of us up there and so that is where I am headed.

Fifteen minutes further on and here I am, at the top, and looking down from whence I came.

Our journey has not quite been completed as yet. We still have to round that bend up ahead--and then some. I'm not too sure how much farther we will end up going, but it is out there somewhere.

What!!!

Cow poop pointing somewhere.

This is the end of the line for us, and time to do some re-adjusting before heading back.
Some have said that from this point it is a 10 kilometre hide back to our parking lot, while others have suggested it is closer to 9.

Our route back is as simple as it gets,
just follow along the river valley right back to the dam at Kananaskis Falls and our vehicles.

That is it. Thanks for viewing.

As a group we needed permission from the Stoney Tribal Administration before going on this hike. Once connecting up with the correct person, it did not appear too difficult to gain this permission.
