Description:
This hike climbs a ridge, part of the famous “Pasque Mountain Horseshoe”. A magnificant outing, one of the best in Kananaskis Country. The east ridge of Pasque gives new meaning to the word "undulating." Four tops, counting in Pasque's summit, are separated by three cols.
The final push is rather steep, but the views are amazing. This ridge is a high mountain ridge and we will need to be wary of potential lightning strikes. The beginning area of this trail can be “squishy”, so waterproof boots are a good idea.
