Day Hike – Mt. Fairview (9,001 ft)
Saturday, July 25th, 2009
Our last day full day in Canada was celebrated by a lovely hike up Mt. Fairview from the Chateau Lake Louise. The hike climbs just over 3,400 ft to the summit, over 9 km. We followed the Saddleback Pass Trail to the Pass (at around 7, 700 ft) and then made the final summit bid up scree to the top.
I decided to do the hike in my new VFF (Vibram Five Finger) shoes, it was an experiment in foot dexterity & toughness!
Our stats:
Start Time: 12:35 pm
Saddleback Pass: 1:50 pm
Mt. Fairview Summit: 2:40pm
Finish Time: 4:30pm
