Not long after entering the Sunshine Meadows, the views revealed themselves quite quickly.
High waters caused wet feet and a bit of balance practice.
Making our way towards Citadel Pass, the first benchmark of the day.

Our first view of lake Magog and a cloudy Mount Assiniboine. We took a moment to appreciate the view before completing the last kilometre of the day to the campground.
A rainy afternoon fishing for trout in lake Magog.

We didn’t anticipate the amount of rain that would fall that afternoon and evening. None the less, big smiles all around to be mostly dry and cozy in our sleeping bags, hiding from the rain.
Going light also means unconventional setups. 2 hammocks and 1 bivy bag, with a tarp above us to keep us dry. It rained all evening and through most of the night. Damp feet and a bit of shivering, but good enough to get us through.
6:00AM and back at the lake to catch another fish.

Sunburst Lake & mountain looking phenomenal in the morning light.
A quick detour up to the Nublet on our way out of camp.
Worth the extra few KM’s for a beautiful view of the surroundings before heading home. Mt. Assiniboine hiding in the clouds to the left of Sunburst Mountain.
After Mount Assiniboine was hiding in the clouds the whole time we were there, it decided to give us one quick look before we left.

She’s a real beauty! Time suffer another 30KM home.
