"A hot day. Saw a bear with two cubs on the way up and down. She kept a good distance. Trail, followed by a scree cone and then slabbier slopes to the summit. A great day with great views." — BertB • Jun 7, 2016
"Hiked up via a creek valley. Hazardous spot along creek due to June 2013 flood debris. Otherwise no difficulties. No more than easy-moderate scrambling. Summited Lougheed Peak 2. Weather cleared up enough for us to have good views. Returned down same way that we came up." — geoffc • Sep 17, 2013
