It takes 2 hours and a half from Calgary to get Paget Peak. It is a bit long drive but the view of two lakes, Watpta Lake and Shebrooke Lake from the trail is worth seeing!
In the beginning of the hiking.
A hut is on the lookout. It was mothy...
The views from the lookout. It takes one hour and a half from the base.
After passing the lookout, head north and easy scramble to get the summit. There are many cairns and no need to find the route. Anywhere is fine, actually.
A view of Shebrooke Lake from the first summit. This is not the true summit.
The views from the first summit. Need a little bit more walking (5 min?) to get the true summit.
Finally, here is the true summit!
Snow was still on the top.
We took the return route a bit of west from the original route.
I found a pretty cairn looks like a house!
