Knobby Knob

A day hike in Banff National Park with Tara. We started from the Fish Creek trailhead and headed over Boulder Pass to the Ptarmigan Lake area. Our destination was an unnamed high point directly west of Deception Pass that would provide a nice 360 degree vantage of the immediate vicinity. We ate a nice leisurely lunch at the top before turning around and exiting the way we came.

Pika and Ptarmigan Peak make for a nice view from the window at Halfway Hut.

You ever wonder why they call it Ptarmigan Lake?
