Mount Assiniboine is a pyramidal peak mountain located on the Great Divide, on the British Columbia/Alberta border in Canada. It is the highest peak (3,618 m) in the Southern Continental Ranges of the Canadian Rockies. There are two ways to get here: one is to get in and out by helicopter, and the other is to walk more than 30 kilometers in one way. The helicopter lifts to huts or lodge at Lake Magog. Mount Assiniboine rises nearly 1,525m above Lake Magog.
Spent three days in a hut by taking helicopter in Mt. Assiniboine Provincial Park, with no electricity, no signal, and heated by camp fire at night. There are only 5 huts in the park, and limited campsites and lodges for people to stay overnight. Luggage by helicopter cannot exceed 40 pounds. Need to bring own garbage down the mountain.
From the huts to the top of the mountain, had to climb 5.7 kilometers to Niblet to shoot the sunrise and sunset at Sunburst Peaks. The hiking trail from the huts to Nub Peak via Niblet was the best trail ever. Woke up at 4am in the morning and climbed the mountain with a headlamp on, also with bear spray, to capture the sunrise; hiked down the mountains and climbed up again before sunset to capture sunset… After the sunset, it was dark, went down the mountain with headlamp on, so afraid contacting with bears ... Did like this for two days. No electricity and no signal for three days, went to the river to get water, boiled water at the public "kitchen" … lived as a savage for three days.
This was the scene before sunset, clouds hanging on top of Mount Assiniboine! This is the sight of heaven falling on earth. It was truly a place of incredible peace…a place for you to disconnect from the busy world and reconnect with nature… (Sept.18, 2022)
