Miner's Peak Looking for a quick trip we hiked up Miner's Peak which overlooks Canmore. Although it shares 85% of its route with Ha Ling Peak, the other 15% presents a higher summit with an unexpected challenge. A short, narrow ridge led to the summit which on a calm day in dry conditions would be easy to cross. But strong winds threatened to toss me over the side. While Dinah hung back, I carefully made my way to the top. Too windy to stand, I shot a panorama while on my knees before exiting. |
