Red line is the actual track I took up to where I went which was recorded by my GPS. Bushwhacking required. I suggest to get to the creek as fast as you can after Kananaskis Peak and get back to the trail for Wasootch on the way back.

View from the summit. This view shows most of the route we took. Mouse over to see the route.

There aren't too many names to show, but I have to show 2 peaks. Old Baldy and Mount McDougall. I know Mark, the ridge walker, is a faithful scramble books reader. I bet he sleeps with the books. But just in case he doesn't know, we can go all the way to McDougall by just staying on this ridge. That's like 10 hrs of ridge walking. Just, just in case he doesn't know. Just in case.

Great picture of both peaks we did. Kananaskis peak seems very impressive from here. Did we really came down there?
