Turtle Mountain August 24, 2019 Crowsnest Pass

So day 3 of our scout camp ended up being another hiking day...hurray!  Well at least the boys though that by the end, they didn't want to hike at first but were glad they came by the end.  I said to them I don't know anybody who regrets going on a hike after the hike!  I had done this a couple years ago and today we did about same rout between the two summits.  The cracks between the summits is what the boys really enjoyed.  They are pretty neat and are huge.  The instruments on the true summit also intrigued the boys.  Great day and great pizza at Captain's Pizza once we finished.

On our way up!

Almost to the true summit, check out Crowsnest Mountain in the distance

Old abandoned equipment that was used to sense cracks getting bigger

We headed over to the helicopter landing pad and I think that is actually the high point of the hike
