"Yesterday the weather was perfect for a stroll up Mt Foch. Although the approach from the Upper Kananaskis Lakes parking lot is long, it's always so scenic. Once we branched off the main Aster lake trail, we were continually distracted by the incredible number of fossils in Foch Creek, more than I had seen anywhere. We took the more direct route up to the ridge, rather than the longer Kane route. This involves slogging about 500m up some tiresome treadmill scree and loose dirt to reach the ridge. This route was dry and we didn't encounter and random rockfall that other parties have reported. Once on the ridge, the scrambling was more interesting and challenging with a few downclimbs and an exposed ridge traverse to reach the summit. Fortunately the ascent misery is inversely proportional to the descent joy level and it was a pretty quick descent from the ridge to the valley. We took a detour for a much needed cool off in the pond between Sarrail and Foch." — geoffhardy • Aug 27, 2023

"I'm not sure if the name "Prairie Lookout" is intended to be a joke, but there was no prairie or lookout. We used a bike approach for the first 2km, taking a wrong turn on the way in, but found the right way on the way out. The approach trail up French Creek was in reasonable shape and after a while we were at the scree cone below the west face of Prairie, just north of Mt French. There was quite a bit of hot scrambling and route finding to reach the ridge and then a fun traverse to get to the summit. It's easy to knock rocks down on this one, so a small group is essential." — geoffhardy • Jul 8, 2023

"Solo trip. I took Kane gully with grey rubble close to the top, then traversed to the left side on good animal/ human trail . Scramble through the weakness in rockband higher up would rate easy rather than moderate. Fantastic views. The crux of this relatively short trip is much bushwhacking on the approach.

"Had an awesome day out with Cassie, Austin, Elisabet, Bonnie and Jenna! Weather was mostly fine except for a very short-lived squall, bushwhacking was tough but not terrible and views were incredible as expected! Some group management was required in the gully with a group of our size." — leigh-annewebster • Jun 18, 2023

"Feli, Kate, Shannon and I did a bike and hike day. Weather held until the ride out! Views were spectacular! We rode to Blueberry and avoided some bushwhacking. 6.5hrs plus 30-40 minutes at the summit!" — leigh-annewebster • Jun 3, 2023
