Avalanche Crest Trail, or mantra butterflies

 1 September 2024

For the second leg of our A.O. Wheeler Camp, following Ewa's recommendation, we chose a blue (moderate) Avalanche Crest Trail, starting right from the hut. AllTrails gives 8.7 km and +932 m as the ramifications for this trail. According to our GPSs, the trail's length is closer to 10 km.

Asulkan Valley (Hut) Trail

On that day the five of us: Mike, Bożenna, Barbara, Piotr and Anna, we hiked to Asulkan Hut in the upper part of Asulkan Valley, Glacier National Park, British Columbia. According to AllTrails the hike 13.7 km long with 968 meters of altitude gain. My GPS showed almost 20 km (forth and back) with about 860 m of altitude gain. Go figure!

Noseeum Lake (Banff NP)

 17 August 2024


Noseeum Lake is a fine lake in Banff National Park. Our objective, to say the truth, was Noseeum Peak, which is above 3000 meters. However, the weather was uncertain and looking for a trail in dense fog didn't appeal to us. The whole trail to the lake is very interesting though, even if often confusing on the way. Having three GPS devices in our group, we still lost quite a bit of time trying to find the right path.
