Hiking the Ridges

Did a couple of nice hikes over the past few days....

One was in Jackson Basin where Stu and I hiked up Mt Reco, along the north ridge of that peak and scrambling down to a long, grassy continuation of that ridge.  The accompanying picture shows the route.  Nice weather, great views.

The other hike was just over the ridge from Jackson Basin where Catherine and I hiked in towards Mt Carlyle.  The access here is from Sandon and up the trail/old road past the old mining town of Cody.

We hiked far enough to get a view of the meadows on the north side of Carlyle as well as exploring an old mining site on the western flank of the mountain.

Nice hikes in the Kootenay hills.
