Old Glory

Up early to drive to Rossland where I was to meet my live-in hiking partner with the objective of doing the Plewman/Old Glory Trail circuit (part of the 7 Summits Trail) and include a hike up Old Glory as well.

One bit of a shock: it got quite cool last night and rained and as I headed down the Lake I looked over to Mt Loki - it was covered with snow!!  Yikes!!

The hike was nice.  About 1100 meters of elevation gain and back down to the road.  Skies were threatening, it was definitely COLD in the wind at the top and we did get a few minutes of snow pellets as we climbed Old Glory.

I'm definitely ready for some cooler fall weather, but I';m not so sure I'm ready for snow....
