Gem Trek map says "Good luck in finding the best route up to King Creek Ridge"… What kind of map is that? We bushwhacked from road.

We made a mistake not carrying snowshoes. We thought there would be less snow on top but we were wrong. There were more snow on top than bottom. Seeing the false summit.

3 min away from the false, there is the true summit. I don't know who bothered to make a cairn and left a Canadian flag at the false peak when the true summit if only 3 minutes away and there is nothing too difficult between them.

It was what I describe "one-dimensional" meaning scenery doesn't change in entire route, but the scenery was very nice.
