Sulphur Skyline

"Mountains speak, and wise men listen" (John Muir)

Louise and I love the Rocky Mountains. Our last little hike was in Jasper National Park, Sept. 14, 2004. It was a short day hike, from Miette Hot Springs to the Sulphur Skyline Summit (elev. 2,070 metres). The elevation gain is about 700 metres, and you can reach the top in about 2 hours. Apart from the spectacular views, another reward is a well deserved soak in the hot pool.
