      Pace yourself😬. You risk falls of over 1,000mm😱Since it is a solo climb with no room for error, use plenty of safety equipment. Good luck as you are tempting almost certain injury 🩹. Make sure people know when to expect you back, so they can call rescue services or uber. Leave a will. Good Luck😳

    Manitobas highest point is actually found in a very nice area! The Duck mountains are home to incredible blue lakes. Also, the tower at the top of Baldy mountain is home to some gorgeous views!!! It’s not very high but it’s a nice spot to visit!!!

    • @larryroyovitz7829
      @larryroyovitz7829 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Manitoban here. Manitoba is pretty low (we had lake Agassiz), which makes the elevation of the Duck mountains so stark compared to the surrounding prairie. Saskatchewan, is on average higher as the elevation goes up, as you go towards the Rockies, of course. But Saskatchewan doesn't have this stark feature for it's highest elevation because it's just higher up prairie.

      100% agreed it's staggering elevation gain above the Yellowhead hwy makes it seem out of place in the Rockies.
      It's summit is anti-climatic only from the aspect that all
      the views are down cause the nearest mountains are still 500+ meters lower. That said it's still
      a feather in any climbers hat. 1 of it's my outstanding features is it accessibility and rainforest like vegetation around it base.

    Another point of interest about Mount Logan is that the Laurentian elites in Eastern Canada tried to rename this mountain Mount Trudeau. But the geologists in Canada rallied together to point out that Logan was probably a far more important person than Pierre Elliott Trudeau could ever think of being.

      It’s actually the highest point in the prairie provinces that isn’t in the Rockies. Despite our highest elevation’s boring appearance, it is located in some very rugged hills that would remind you of the foothills of the Rockies. Went camping in the Cypress Hills last summer and it really is a beautiful place.

    Im shocked there isnt a peak in Northern Ontario, just north of lake Superior, that is taller than 640m. There is all kinds of rolling hills and mountians just north of that lake on the transcanada. Its actually a super difficult area for truck traffic with all the elevation changes, and tight curves.

    • @PatG-xd8qn
      @PatG-xd8qn 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The names came from the point of view of Europeans coming to Canada from the Saint-Lawrence river. Québec was on the "lower" part of the river while Ontario is on the "upper" part because you need to get through multiple man made canals and locks to get past the rapids of Lachine next to Montréal
      Before those canals were made, people had to unload ships in Montréal and then reload another ship past the rapids

    The highest point in Ontario, Ishpantina Used to be called "Tip Top Hill". The new name is better, but it is funny, Blue Mountain looking over Collingwood and Georgian Bay looks a little more substantial from a distance.
    Come of think of it, most of the high points in the Praries are just high in elevation but not compared to the land around them

      @@raspberryridge8840 or it is just the name of the Province. The fact it is on the border means it is one mountain shared by two Provinces, but alas, neither side wants to give up the name. And the Newfs were a separate colony from Canada until 49 AND that part of the world wasnt given to Quebec until around 1911 or so....but then again, the border between Newfoundland and Labrador vs Canada at that time was not defined. I would argue the two names one mountain is a typical Canadian dispute where neither wants to give in but it isn't like like they will go to war over it
