"Très belle journée avec Mélanie. Nous avons fais un bon 22km avec Wright, Algonquin, Bouandry et Iroquois. Le retour c'est fait par Avanche Pass. Beaucoup de glace pour monter. Les crampons furent nécessaire. Très boueux en descendant. " - fsoucy76, Nov 4, 2017
"Well I had to give this one a try or risk coming back over Algonquin again, lol. A lot of people consider this easy, but it's tricky in a few places and the path is very narrow in others. Also, you have to climb back up Algonquin when you're done 😩" - MarkEarle67, Aug 14, 2017
"Got a 622am start time. Heading to the Macintyre Range today. Hiking by myself and the trails were empty. The peace and quiet and serenity is amazing! After what seemed like a crazy long climb I finally reached the summit of Algonquin at 934am. I was the only person there.

I decided to take the trail down to Avalanche Lake rather than going back over Algonquin and out the way I came. This was a terrible decision. No one had used the trail in quite awhil" - kellieirene, Apr 13, 2016
"Went the wrong way on the way over from Algonquin thanks to a sign made confusing by graffiti (see photo.) Realized my mistake only about 1/4 mile down the trail to Lake Colden, but still was a pain. Thanks for that.
Very much enjoyed this peak, mostly due to similar views as Algonquin but far fewer people (and no one smoking at the summit.) " - cbp5800, Aug 29, 2015
