Citadel Peak and Quartz Ridge

Rock Isle Lake

 

Habituated ground squirrel at Rock Isle Lake thinks I have some food for him. Little did he know I was about to grab him and put him in my backpack. I’d always wanted a pet ground squirrel.

 

Walking through Sunshine Meadows

 

Hanging out while everyone naps at Citadel Pass (we spent over 3 hours there in the end)

 

Views towards Mount Assiniboine from Citadel Pass

 

Walking back towards Sunshine from Citadel Peak – a couple of us climbed it, but I didn’t take my camera up with me. Views from the top were awesome!

 

Cautiously making our way across a couple of snow patches to reach Quartz Ridge

 

Up towards the second knob on Quartz Ridge.
