Mt Sarrail Scramble on 20-Aug-2024

Eight of us left the Upper Lake parking lot at Kananaskis Lakes at 8:00 am, and arrived at the summit of Mount Sarrail about five hours later at 1:00 pm or so. We spent an hour on the summit enjoying the views in spite of some high cloud. We started down at about 2:00 pm, arriving back at the parking lot at 7:00 pm.

Thanks very much to Sim, Gary, Susan, Jane, Gary, Carolyn, and Ingrid for joining me Jack on another great day in the mountains.

Total time: 11 hours
