 | Comments: |
We walked a short distance on the road and then bushwhacked to the recognized summit of the NW peak. We dropped down to the NW Cilley/Cilley Col, picking up a snowmobile trail, which we followed to the Cilley Mountain trail. We took this to a logical point to jump off and hike the two peaks of Grandview. From Grandview we ran straight at the ridge of Cilley. To decedent, we headed north west, hitting a road which dropped us back to Elbow pond road. Grandview and Cilley summits are recognized, Cilley is a tough call in terms of absolute highpoint.
We were pleased with the new snow as snowshoeing through 6"-12" of powder was preferred over the ice and we'd encountered on the last few hikes. |
