Pink line is the actual track I took which was recorded by my GPS. This stats is only to Ha Ling. For complete stats, please see page 6. After waypoint "Off Route" I went straight up instead of following trail. My descent route can be too steep for inexperienced hikers, if it is too sleep for you, I suggest to go back to the official trail.

I only had a half day but I didn't want to waste such a nice sunny day, so I decided to do Ha Ling and Miners Peak solo trip.

Mount Roundle behind. I noticed one thing. The official height of Ha Ling is 2407m which is totally wrong. It should be around 2475m. My GPS usually get quite accuratre reading and now I have done it twice, both records show it is around 2475m.

At Miners Peak. It only takes 30 min or so. The big mountain on the left is Mount Lawrence Grassi. I have to do that one someday and which means I have to see the spectacular view of Canmore at least one more time… On the center, there is a small peak GR123573, and on the right, Ha Lign Peak.

This little one is GR123573. I saw a well established trail goes around this peak to the col between GR and Grassi. I wonder where that trail go? I went on top of GR123573 and descended from there.

My descent route can be steep for some people, if you get scared easily, don't follow my way. With right amount of snow like it was, descent was fun.
