Route: from the carpark at Barrier Lake Dam taking a track rising in switchbacks through trees to reach the ridge and along this for lunch near the strange reflector. Then on a less frequented and steeper path up the next ridge to reach the inhabited fire watch with views towards Canmore. Back the same way as the return tracks were closed because of recent flooding.
Conditions: initially a mix of cloud and sun but with more prolonged light rain on the return.
Pub: the Grisly Paw, Canmore for Rutting Elk Red, Grumpy Honey Wheat and some Stout, with Stirling and Ann.
