"Long day, a couple down climbs from Evangeline peak to poplar peak that were not terrible to scramble. No water sources for almost all the trip, bring plenty of water, and a helmet if with a group. Lots of falling rock in several places. Also 2000 metres of elevation gain. Nice to smash out five different peaks and ridges. " — bradenh • Jul 16, 2022
"At the trailhead 8am getting ready.
Simon showed up and said he was doing the Evangeline-Poplar loop.
Both solo, we teamed up to tackle this one.
I was 6 weeks recovering from a smith fracture and did not want to push the scrambling to much.
I was thinking I would just do Evangeline peak out and back.
Simon easily persuaded to traverse over to Poplar, and happy I did.
The scrambling wasn’t too hard with my wrist about 75% healed. The traverse was definitely more interesting than returning the same way.
My Acadian roots were happy to stand on top of this peak." — Randy • May 30, 2021
"Jenna and I left Calgary at 6:30 am and got on the trail just before 9:30 am. We left our snowshoes in the car and paid for it later on some serious trail-breaking on the treed ridge. Once on the open ridge, life got much better. Partway up the ridge Jenna said her foot was freezing to a point of being uncomfortable, so she opted to turn around and take care of that while I went ahead to the windy summit! I took some summit pictures, had some chocolate and marzipan and quickly descended to meet back with her and enjoy (cough cough) the miserable deep snow on the way back. Seeing the sunset over the mountains was spectacular. Nine hours in total and we didn't do the traverse for fear of having to break trail in more deep snow. I'll probably go back for Poplar Ridge from the other end sometime. " — leigh-annewebster • Feb 22, 2020
