Twin Cairns
Banff National Park
April 21, 2000

This is the most expensive snowshoe trip I've done: we bought chair lift tickets to take us up to Sunshine Meadows. After getting a lift we snowshoed up the south summit of Twin Cairns.


After leaving the chair we set off for Twin Cairns on the right.


Very little elevation at first

Ptarmigan appears undisturbed by our presence, or too cold to move!
