Trip Report

Hmmm. Not much to say here! This is a good hike to take the family on - including the family dog! ;-) It's only 700m height gain and you can probably go up any time of the year. Hey! I'm not fussy, I take the hard peaks so I guess I'll take this one too! It was a good 3 hours on my own.



The morning light was clear and warm with nice views to the west.

There was hardly any snow on the trail and a recent blow-down was cleared already. Obviously this is a popular trail!

The trail kind of disappears once you reach treeline but the way up is obvious.

Banded peak shows off it's namesake.

The Moose Mountain fire lookout is just visible across the valley to the north from the summit of Prairie.

A closer look and you know where all those side roads go...
