Nugara easy scramble. Went up Bow Peak early morning to beat the storms. An extremely pleasant outing with fantastic views, I think this should be on everyone's to-do list. A great non-steep trail (with a less than knee deep crossing) to the base of the peak. Choose your own adventure up on mostly solid quartzite blocks, a nice summit ridge traverse from there, and a fantastic summit view with glaciers and lakes all around. A pleasant alternate descent back to the main trail easily. Just no BS on this wonderful outing with minimal challenges. I meant to do this in winter but glad I didn't. 14km return 1000m gain 6hr20min. Loved it, can definitely recommend! Very high value for your dollar.
