| Scrambling Photos from Tangle Ridge | July 18, 2009 |
Tangle Ridge is a very scenic hike from the Icefields Parkway. The trail head starts at the Tangle Falls parking lot. This ascent is well described in "Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies" by Alan Kane. Allison and I had a great day for this ascent. The photos were superb
