Bald Hills
3 April 2005
Snowshoeing with Hank.
Bald Hills is a moderate hiking trail near Maligne Lake. We did it as a daytrip from Edmonton on a perfect spring day. There was about 4' of consolidated snow on the trail. Stepping off the trail would put you into thigh deep powder even with snowshoes. Next time I'd ski it to facilitate a quicker descent.
Breaking trail up to the lookout.
Hank's turn to break trail.
My trekking pole set at 48" buried to the hilt.
At the Bald Hills Lookout. Guess how hard it is to set your camera's self timer and run out in front with snowshoes on.
As you can see by the tracks we had to move closer after a couple of failed attempts.
