Mt. Assiniboine, Canada

In August 2003, we hiked gorgeous Assiniboine — the Canadian Matterhorn — for 4 days.

The weather was terrific though we had some eerie forest fire haze.

Using Lake Magog as a base camp, we did most of the popular day hikes. It was a treat not to have to carry a heavy pack.

Highlights included:

  • Scrambling Nub Peak
  • Scrambling to Hind Hut on Assiniboine
  • Scrambling Windy Ridge; the ridgecrest north of Og Mountain
  • Assiniboine vistas
  • Wonder Pass & Marvel Pass
