Grant MacEwan Peak Video Summary

Oops! Spotted a minor error in the end credits of this video which I had posted a short while ago. I'll be deleting that one once this one is up. Apologies for any confusion!

This is a 720p resolution video. I have posted a 1080p version on our fabulous YouTube channel "Summit Adventures 2021."

Grant MacEwan is a former Lieutenant Governor of Alberta. He was a noted writer of Western Canadian history, with 37 titles to his credit. But he also served as an MLA and was Mayor of Calgary for 1 term.

The last few days we've been having delightful spring weather, mild temperatures, lots of sun, little wind, and so off to the mountains we went. On this hike, we walked around 13 and a half kilometres, gained, after several ups and downs, just over 1000 metres, and took 6 hours to do so. In the valley at the start, there was a typical spring mix of ice, mud and snow on the trail. Ascending through the forests on the slope, it was mainly snow and ice, and the micro-spikes on our boots were very helpful. Once out of the trees, though, there was a lot of bare rock, and so we continued just in our boots. The patches of snow you see were at times a little deep, but not icy, so the boots were fine.
