Kananaskis Country was another of our old mountain haunts, so we decided to spend a couple of days there.Part of one day we spent hiking up to the top of Pocaterra Ridge, one of the nicest ridge walks we've ever done. All the mountain hillsides were in full fall color and with the stellar weather, what more could you ask for?
We also hiked up Mt Indefatigable to the little sub-peak near the north summit. The views out over the Kananaskis Lakes were wonderful, the water was mirror calm and the clear air afforded good views of all the peaks in the area. The traverse of Mt Indefatigable from north peak to south peak was one of the first scrambles I ever did, back in about 1995, with Dan, one of my regular climbing/scrambling partners at the time.
We also had time for some bike riding south of Highwood Pass. Our route north was from Longview up to Bragg Creek, a nice drive along the foothills. Once we passed Cochrane, it was time to settle in for the long drive to Saskatoon, our next destination.
