Start: Hwy. 40 (Kananaskis Trail) at King Creek day-use area.

Difficulty: The new and improved trail (see guidebook) up the west flank is still a sweaty grunt on a hot day.

Note: The descent to the north fork is difficult and not reccommended. The fork itself is reported as an "arduous journey over giant boulders, deadfall & gravel walls to rock hop & repeated creek-crossings towards the canyon as the trail is 98% gone post flooding. The 3 1/2 km leg took about 3 hours."
