Hello to everyone!
I'll pick up where I left off last post, starting from Og Lake. We made our way to the Naiset Huts, cabins near Mt. Assiniboine, where we stayed on Tuesday night. It was only about 6km from Og lake to the huts and we made good time. The huts have room for 6 people, there are two single bunks and two double bunks. Each hut also has a wood stove and there is a cook shelter with propane stoves that is free to use for everyone.
I was amazed at the number of people staying at both the Mt. Assiniboine Lodge and at the huts. We had met very few other hikers on the trail but the huts and lodge were both full. I was also surprised by the amount of cooking supplies/utensils people had brought with them. We had one pot and had packed mostly rice, whole grain pasta and oats. I found out later that many people helicopter in to the lodge or have supplies 'coptered in to save some weight in their packs.
On Wednesday we hiked up to Nub Peak which offered an amazing panoramic view of the entire Mt. Assiniboine area. Mt. Assiniboine itself is very similar to the Matterhorn in the Alps and has a very distinct pyramid shape as you can see in the photos. The lakes in the photos are Magog, Elizabeth, Cerulean and Sunburst.
Yeah, interesting that the shelters were full! and that people get supplies coptered in! what were they eating
