It is a popular Yamnuska near Calgary. Actually I tried Yamnuska previous year, but I gave up on my way as my because my physical condition was not good because it was just after recovered from piriformis syndrome. You can see the great view soon after starting hiking. There is fun area like athletics using chain.

In the beginning. After a while, there is a branch, so go to the right.

A little after you can see the wide view of Kananaskis.

The rocky mountain in the right is where we went up.

The scree slope with stable condition.

The scary edge of the mountain.

Go further from there.

This is one of fun areas. We need to use the chain to go through the edge. It is narrow and only one person can walk and waiting time occurs depending on the number of people here.

After passing the chain area.

The chain area from the other side.

Beneath the peak.

Top of the mountain. So many people were there.

Starting going down.

As soon as we started going down, we went out to a scree slope like this. We just slid down.

We didn't know the good trail to go down so we slid down the scree slope.
