The sky was the bluest and best of Alberta skies and it was a warm day on the hike to Powderface Ridge from the south, except for the icy wind on the summit. We arrived at the summit at exactly noon, and after looking around fruitlessly for any shelter we returned to the point where the trail hits the top. Here we had a toasty warm lunch spot.
Lunch was just below the escarpment at the summit
We could see something large on the Outlier summit
From the base of the outlier we could see that somebody has planted a large Canadian flag there. So we electronically "ran up for a closer look", utilizing telephone telephoto technology.
What we saw was a large Canadian flag
The only wildlife we saw was a blue grouse, but the photographer had not yet turned the phone on, and by the time the thing was ready the grouse was long gone.
We were back to the cars before 3:30.
