(Clicking on the pics allows to see them in bigger size). 

Our trip this time was to Castle Mountain, which is without a doubt an absolutely iconic mountain in Banff National Park.

 

Officially, our hike was on Saturday, but some people decided to visit Lake Minewanka the day before ...

…and took a hike to Stewart Canyon ...

Castle Mountain (2766 m) is an impressive massif on the junction of Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 93, from British Columbia, in Banff National Park. This "cultish" mountain ("kultowa góra") was on the list of our goals for quite some time, but different factors, typically weather, prevented previous explorations.

This time, the Trip Leader, Roman Lipiecki, gathered an impressive team. We started at 7:00 am from the Castle Mountain Hostel, when it was still dark.

From the left to right these were: Witek Kurpiński, Michał Trzecieski, Ewa Stroemich, Marek Kucmierz, Piotr Rajski, Ken Wells (Ewa's boy-friend) and Gennady Sergiejev. (Missing Roman Lipiecki).
