I don't know now but when I did this peak, the bridge was washed out by 2013 flooding. In the morning crossing creek was not a problem. It was only ankle deep. But in the afternoon, trying to find a spot where I could cross rushing glacier melt river was a problem. I ended up walking to Peyto Lake shore to find a spot and still it was deep enough the water almost cooled my family jewels.

Now, only if I could just jump off and glide, this would be quick way back.
