Three Memorial Lakes are located around Bogart Tower, below Mount Bogart in Kananaskis Country. The name commemorates 13 passengers of three different air crafts that crashed in the area in 1986. The first was a passenger plane, and the second two were search and rescue aircraft. Here are the photos of Memorial Lakes taken from different perspectives during our hikes.

There are multiple routes on the ridge but they all end up on the left side of the summit block where there is an easy scramble up to the top. If you see there a path with exposure, […]

I was fascinated by the Wind Tower when I saw ascent trail to its summit (photo above) during my solo Little Lougheed hike. Since late May it was just a matter of good weather and smoke free weekend, when we finally decided to go for it.
