11-12 hours

Excuse my pronunciation 😂😅. Idk why I was so confused 🤦‍♂️

TH-cam was actually my beginning in content not Instagram! 😆 glad you can join us

Do it! It’s amazing. I did it for a 5th time just 11 days ago solo. Video will be posted… in a while 😅

@@KevAlberta solo summit on temple, nice dude!

Thanks for watching and have fun! I really enjoyed Mount Smutwood myself :)

Thanks for watching 😁

Did I say that?😅 genuine question

Can be done in around 2-4 hours

@@KevAlberta where did you guys park? Planning to do this tomorrow !

@@elixirx07 park in the trailhead/hot springs parking lot!

@@KevAlberta not the Banff gondola parking lot ? Also, around what time did you arrive at the trailhead? Was the parking lot already full when you arrived? Thanks so much!

@@elixirx07 nope not the gondola parking lot. Searching sulphur mountain trail on Google maps should find you the correct parking. Earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon is always the safest bet for less crowds

Thanks! I’ve been to Detroit once visiting a friend in Windsor 🙂 enjoyed my time there

Thank you, glad you enjoyed 😁 there’s more to come!

No scrambling on this route. You will find the worst or most exposed part of the trail is at 5:30 and at 6:20. There is definitely a big drop on the right hand (hiker’s right) side at 6:28. Other than that it’s not the worst. You must use your own judgement if your 14yr old can make it or not

Thanks, Samrawi! I appreciate it! You have to come out with me more 🙌😉 this hike was great 😁

Thanks for watching! 😄😄 it quickly became one of my favorites

Thank you, Richard!! I have more hikes coming soon :)

Thanks, Erech! Glad you enjoyed the new style of video 😁😁

It was awesome up there for sure bro!! Hope you like the new style of video

I hope there isn’t too much smoke for you Kuya Jay! Windtower is one of my favorite hikes. Amazing area and the views up top are worthy of the effort. A lot of stuff in Kananaskis Country is amazing like that. I’d also recommend anything along highway 40 (Kananaskis Trail). Lots of great views to be had there. Hope you have a great hike!

@@KevAlberta worth a shot even it’s smoky up there, specially we’re too far and only have limited time to do a hike 😉

@@jayraymundperez. a smoky day in the mountains beats a clear day in the city 😁

It depends on a few things, like how experienced you are. There isn’t many cairns or marks to follow. But the path is subtly defined (there is also more than one path, and rock slides that look like paths but aren’t. Following a path may get you lost). If you’re good at route finding and using a map, this scramble shouldn’t pose too much trouble if prepared. If you are unsure of your abilities, go with someone who’s done it before.

It depends. If you brought your 3yo on a few hikes already and know how he responds, then it could be a fun day out. If he hasn’t done any hiking, or longer hikes, it might be best to do something smaller first. Some can some can’t, It’s completely determined by the toddler!

Thanks, Leila! Omg 😅 I guess tunnel mountain would truthfully be the easiest mountain I know. This comes close second though. But you’re right, if someone hasn’t hiked in a while especially up a mountain, they’ll be getting a workout for sure! I’m glad he changed his mind on hiking because it’s so enjoyable! Always cool to see him join in on your hiking vlogs😎

Thanks, Eldridge!

A little 😅 had some sunscreen but missed a few spots

It does doesn’t it! There’s some good opportunities to take photos of ha Ling from this hike. And honestly the difficulty lies within the elevation gain(over 1km). There is no technical scrambling or really any scrambling at all if it’s a dry day. You might use hands maybe 2-3 times to step up/down from small ledges. Almost no exposure to falling, but the trail does sideline a “cliff” for a few meters nearing the summit (shown in video) but there’s lots of room. If you have decent fitness and can follow a trail it should be a breeze 😀

Thank, Jade! Love your profile pic. My favorite place in the world

🏎🏃‍♂️💨💨💨😂

You’d do great on it Kuya Jay! Flat 2.5km hike in before going straight up ~1,150m! Amazing views over Canmore I think you’d love it

@@KevAlberta This is great, checking your videos first before we go hiking. Like what we did in Prairie Mountains, we watched it before we decided to hike it. Keep it up!

Perfect 😁

Right? Snow really stuck around this year 🙃 but this heatwave is gonna melt EVERYTHING. I’m going to do sparrowhawk for sunrise in July

It was awesome even though it rained on us 🙂

🤙🤙

I did enjoy N-S-W/clockwise route. However, once on north peak, you’re hiking steeply down towards south peak. The trail slopes down out of sight; there’s limited visibility to where you’re being led by the trail. There are some false trails that appear good, but actually lead to unnavigable drops, which can mean some small backtracking and then trying another way. Sticking slightly left helps one find the correct route down. I’d imagine going up this section (counterclockwise) would reduce the chance of using a false trail. Once on south peak, going to west peak is pretty straight forward. The difficulty is once you start going up the west peak, most likely the steepest part of the scramble. I do not recall any slab portions on this part. Although, the west peak does have a trail going down its other side (not used on this loop) that does have slab portions. I’d imagine counterclockwise to be a good option as well. Completing the “hardest” west peak first, going up and down south peak, navigating a steep climb up north peak, then finally using the well worn in trail down from north peak to the trail head. I hope this helps Lloyd!

@@KevAlberta Just the kind of info I need. Thank you so much Bro! Keep the videos coming.

No problem thanks for watching 😁

Haha no way! I definitely recognize a few channels there. Lol the name Smutwood always gets me 😂😂 I have to agree with you, I am super lucky to live in such a beautiful area of my country! But I’m also jealous of some of the NP’s in the States as well ;) just as beautiful. Cheers!

Thank you 🙏

Enjoy bro hope it’s nice out!

Thank you bro 🙏🙏

Glad you enjoyed :)
