The locals don't mind if we share their scenery as long as we keep out of the way.Incredible lighting on the lower Pocaterra Cirque valley and our approach.We drove from Canmore via the Spray Lakes road and enjoyed these sublime views around Tent Ridge (r) with Commonwealth Ridge at left.Looking down the ridge to the north and east with Pocaterra at left. Gap at center, Rae, Arethusa and Storm at right.Fall hiking is the best kind there is IMHO.A tarn on the approach with Rae at left and Arethusa at right in the background.Another panorama of Pocaterra Ridge.A very popular hike, this is starting down the trail near the parking lot at Highwood Pass.More great views of the fall colors and Smuts Creek.The water in Pocaterra Creek is refreshingly cold on a warm fall day.Fall colors were out in full force.Pocaterra Creek runs towards Highwood Pass.Note the tiny figures on the summit of Pocaterra Ridge.Looking down from the ascent slopes of Pocaterra Ridge. From right to left, Tyrwhitt, Grizzly Ridge, Highwood Ridge, Storm, Little Arethusa.The trail is obvious.Fall colors.Looking down Little Highwood Pass.Looking across the Highwood Pass at Rae, Arethusa, Storm, Highwood Ridge, Grizzly Ridge and Tyrwhitt (l to r).Reluctantly hiking back.Pocaterra Cirque with the ridge at center and Mount Pocaterra in the background.
