Wind Ridge

Wind Ridge Trail in Exshaw surprised us pretty much with everything: well maintained, not too long, challenging enough, with a little bit of scrambling fun, shady forest, almost no people, and most importantly, incredible views of our favorite Kananaskis peaks from totally unexpected angle, impressive and intimidating. We started early (we always do) and air was more or less clear in the morning, but then wind from the West started to bring lots of smoke from BC fires, and unfortunately pictures of Centennial Ridge side, Skogan, Allan and Collembola did not turn out very good, but I will still post them here for comprehensiveness till better times.

Our track is here.

The original intention was to do the loop, but my wife’s new hiking shoes started to make blisters and we decided not to risk to screw up all the fun with extra 2 kilometers and made only out and back, and it was a wise decision.
