So today the smoke came back after we thought it was going to be ok. We have had on our radar Mt. Custer for years and we figured today would be the day, well we started and it looked a little smokey, but then we got on Forum Peak and the wind had blown in the smoke. We couldn't even see Blakiston Peak which is not far away. So we decided to bail and try another day. So stay tuned for the next attempt, maybe the 15th?

| Didn't look bad as we started the morning up Akamina Trail |
 |
| First of many BC/Alberta border markers we saw |
 |
| Another marker still not too smokey yet |
 |
| Great view of Cameron Lake, getting a little smokier |
 |
| Summit Block of Forum Peak we went on the right |
 |
| Looking down on Forum Ridge with Forum lake on left and Cameron on right |
 |
| First of three cairns on Forum, getting really smokey now, can barely see Alderson on middle right of picture in the distance |
 |
| Cool reflection of sun on the lake |
 |
| Looking towards Kintla Lake, very smokey there |
 |
| As far as we would go, that was our goal in the middle, but next time eh |
 |
| Another view down on Cameron |
 |
| Looking back at the first downclimb from Forum Peak |
 |
| Leaving Waterton we saw a momma bear and cubs up in a tree, pretty cool |
