Parker Ridge Banff National Park August 10, 2018

Well this was one of my shortest peaks ever, but it was significant because Parker is my son's name and I figured it would be cool to summit his Ridge.  Once again the smoke really made the views suck, but I could only imagine how awesome the views were on this ridge on a clear day.  This is trailed the entire way and I did it in my runners and we only took one little backpack to carry our water.  I'd do this one again on a clear day to get a view of the Saskatchewan Glacier which is where the Saskatchewan River starts.
