Sarrail Ridge

Scramble to Sarrail Ridge was tough, lots of people returned back after enjoying the beauty of Rawson Lake from the bottom - www.flickr.com/photos/runqing/51606781518/in/dateposted/

 

Rawson Lake is stunning and totally worth the uphill battle before getting to the first lookout of the gorgeous lake. The photo was taken while climbing Sarrail Ridge, capturing the Rawson Lake and Rocky Mountains around it. My camera was hanging on my neck, dangling while climbing the mountain, but I could take photos at any rest stops to enjoy the beauties of the lake and mountains.

 

Met a guy who did not follow the “trail” path, but hiking along the mountains shown in my photo on his own, came back along the “trail” path, passed me quickly like running on the ground… But he stopped and talked to me for a bit. He told me, he had feeling he could hike that way, he was the ONLY one on that "path"... I was so surprised by his super climbing ability, also understood why some people missed in the mountains every year… Good luck for him!

 

PS: Sarrail Ridge is a 11.3-kilometer trail located near Kananaskis, Alberta. It is rated as difficult. The trail starts from the Upper Kananaskis Lake parking lot.
