(Posted by

Today marked my twenty-ninth trip up Prairie Mountain. My first trip was back in October of 2004, and on that trip and every single trip since then I have taken a summit reading with a GPS. The summit reading is almost always a waypoint averaging of approximately fifteen minutes, but ...

A solo outing with the new Garmin 62s and the old 60Cx which I've been using faithfully to record summit coordinates for some time now. Which will prove more accurate? More precise? Stay tuned.

Another evening ascent, this time with cousin Brenna visiting from Ontario. Met a young guy pushing his bike up to the summit. He said it takes him 10 minutes to get down.

The Trail on Prairie Mountain
(Posted by

A quick run up as I had just about run out of July. A warm morning, but a wind started up on the way down so maybe others weren't getting sweat in their eyes like I was. After completing the Glasgow-Banded Traverse last week, I could no longer hear the ...

A late evening ascent not long after the solstice. Taylor joined Bern, Erin and I to make it a foursome. We had the summit to ourselves.

Most of the snow is gone, even though we got a ton of it. Strangely, the wind today was from the south. Also the first day Powderface Trail is open for 2011.

Pack Mule Route on Prairie Mountain

Could spring be on the way? We saw hikers in shorts and shirtless. Still a little chilly for that methinks, but others differ.

Last month it was an extreme of cold; this month an extreme of wind. A nice chinook was blowing like crazy, and not just at the summit elevations. The parking area and ridge were noisy with air movement. Luckily the trees kept us sheltered, but we knew we'd be hit ...
