On Sunday we did a hike up to Mt Jardine, one of the peaks at the end of the Schroeder Creek Valley. This is a peak I've seen from a distance but never actually been to. Access is via the Rossiter Creek FSR, blocked a few km in by a stream/bridge washout. The trail is an easy hike with the usual Kootenay Valley elevation gain, along a well-defined trail for these parts, right up into the sub-alpine below Mt Jardine.From there is was 15 minutes up the final ridge seen in the photo, where views opened up in all directions, even as far as the Bugaboos to the northeast.
After a 2-hour hike back down to the vehicles it was a short drive home and then supper out with friends visiting the area.
