Mount Indefatigable: 2010

Still working on getting caught up on posting.  This was a hike from July 17 with Duncan, Steph, Breanna, and Andrea.  Even though it was relatively late in the season we weren't sure what conditions were going to be like since there were still reports of snow in the mountains... so I decided to march everyone up one of my favourites: Mt. Indefatigable (aka Fatty).  It's about 920 m elevation gain, 7.6 km round-trip (see previous trip here: http://bekham.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html).  This time there was less snow so we got to explore further, but we still opted not to take the ridge-top back down - although we there was still enough snow to boot-ski part way down!



Upper Kananaskis Lake was beautiful and I couldn't help taking a few pans of it on the way up.
