Flower Ridge
Aug 13, 2018
Hiked about 8 km (one-way), following the cairns in the alpine to a look-out spot. Took 2 hours and 15 minutes with a big daypack to reach the first tarns, where there are camp spots. Altogether, I was 5.5 hours, with about a half-hour break at the top enjoying the views but otherwise moving at a good clip (cool weather made that possible). The vertical feels like less than it is, perhaps because the trail is relatively easy walking. The downside to the steady slant of the trail was blisters on the back of my heels. Apparently you can walk for about 16km (one-way), but the latter 8km isn't really a marked trail. I would have like to go a bit further along the ridge to reap the rewards of the climb up but there was thunder nearby and I thought I'd sort of reached the end (I didn't know at the time that people go further). Don't stop at the tarns; another 25 minutes or so of walking will bring you 360-degree views. Some of the trail is a bit overgrown on the way up but not enough to make it difficult to navigate. No snow. Dry trail (except when it started to pour buckets on the way down!). No flowers at this time of year. No animal sightings. Buggy at the top!! Didn't see another soul all day, despite it being an August Saturday and despite there being a couple of cars at the trailhead. Was good as a dayhike, would also be fun as an overnighter to explore some more of the alpine.
