Blackfoot Islet Lake Hike for “Cigar” Caches

ByGrant Wilson November 15, 2010July 15, 2020

Okay, I knew it was going to be a long hike. I knew that. But knowing is only a mental concept until you actually do it. It still surprises me that this hike added up to 22 km and took me 5 hrs twenty minutes to do, 4 hrs moving, and 1 hour and 20…

Climb to the Summit of Folding Mountain

ByGrant Wilson August 10, 2010June 25, 2022

The hike / climb up Folding Mountain on Aug. 10, 2010 turned out to be both challenging (especially during the tough first 2 kms that involved a steep elevation gain) and thoroughly delightful once most of the elevation was gained and the walks through the alpine meadows began. This trek was on my wish list…

Hike to Lusk Creek Ridge Central Summit

ByGrant Wilson July 1, 2010July 16, 2020

I drove to Kananaskis from Calgary in the morning and just after 8:30 was parked and on the way towards the summit of Lusk Creek Ridge, my main goal for the day. At this point in the hike, I really didn’t know what I was getting myself into and my plans were grand: to nab…

Hike to the Summit of Mt. Louie

ByGrant Wilson June 13, 2009July 17, 2020

Mt. Louie (elevation 1844 m / 6050 ft.) is one of the six Bronze mountains in Grande Cache’s Passport to the Peaks program. During the 5.5 km (one way), sometimes challenging hike to the summit, there’s an elevation gain of 714 meters and along the way the reward of some breathtaking views of the mountains…

Blackfoot Hike (Wanisan Lake)

ByGrant Wilson November 4, 2007July 15, 2020

The second day of my excursions to the Cooking Lake – Blackfoot Recreational Area was on Sunday, November 4, 2007. This was good day. The first significant snowfall of the season had fallen over night, so the ground was blanketed by fresh snow. It’s funny how that is a treat, even after having lived though…

Blackfoot Geocaching (Waskahegan)

ByGrant Wilson November 3, 2007July 15, 2020

The Cooking Lake Blackfoot Recreational Area was all completely new to me when I first decided to geocache in the area on November 3, 2007. There was a feeling of being able to explore the unknown, of not knowing what is around the next bend. I love this aspect of geocaching: the chance to “discovering”…
