A small group of us tackled the trade dollar trail today from Cody and up.

I could go into a long description. But I think photos would be better. Really! We gained the ridge after going over the sketchy bit and then Peter and I went on up to what I call the Texas bump – from there a ridge takes you to the final upward drive to West Texas Peak.

But there was a lot of snow and big cornices so we were more than happy to stop at the bump. Glorious 360-views. In fact, Peter has decided it’s one of his top 5 hikes for the Kootenays.

Yeah – it’s pretty swell.

Endorphins are happy.
