View of Storm Mtn.  I cliimbed this with Phil a few years ago. 

View of the whole ridge!

Purple Onion one of the many beautiful wildflowers on this trail.  Wish I had taken more flower pictures!
Mist Ridge is located in Kananaskis Country just off of Highway 40. It was partly cloudy at the beginning of the hike but cleared out towards the afternoon. This is a  loop hike and is 23km or 14.3 miles long!  Gayle, Brad and husband Phil hiked this trail. Took us almost 8 hours to complete (including a lunch break) but worth it.  Lots of different wildflowers and had some good views of the backside of Mist Mtn and Storm Mtn.  The last few hours of the hike are long and tedious as your feet are getting sore and we did start to whine alot!
