Grotto Mountain
Grotto Mtn Stats.
22 June 2004
Scramble with Paul.
This one was by far one of my least favorite failures. We had to turn around before getting too late for dinner with my parents and some guests in Canmore. We should have had enough time, however we wasted a lot of it searching for the correct trail at the base of the mountain. It was also stinking hot and the noise from Canmore's booming condo-constructing industry, tourist helicopters, trains, and the trans Canada highway was ever present.
Eventually we did find the correct trail and made it to the ridge, but were still a click or two from the summit.
An interesting rock on one of the cairns.
Paul makes his way to the top of the ridge.
Me on the ridge with Mt. Lady Macdonald and Mt. Charles Stewart in the background.
Paul and a better view of Mts. Lady Mac and Charles Stewart.
End of the line for us today, true summit of Grotto in the distance.
