Moose Mountain or Swan Lake "balety"

 10 October 2020

Moose Mountain, 2437 m, is a popular mountain in Kananaskis region, southwest from Calgary. It featured in the award winning movie "Brokeback Mountain," which, as you all know, is about a love of one man for another. The trail is 13.8 km long (return, guidebook), or 16 km according to my GPS. The altitude gain is roughly 600 m, which makes this moderately strenuous trail very popular. 

The trail was closed until 30 September for some upgrades to the observation post. That is why, perhaps, when we arrived around 10:00, we barely found a parking spot. Again we were blessed by the participation of some young people - Paulina, Tomek and Minhi, talented doctoral students, took the opportunity to explore our wonderful Canadian mountains.
