Swift mountain, Valemount.

[RusticMountainAdventures]

Needing to get out for a short adventure we took a run up swift mountain which is just north east of Valemount. It’s a short trail that is easily done by most rigs, even stock, there are some awesome views along the way, and if someone was looking for a cool over night spot it would be great. There is a hiking trail that runs up from the end that take a few hours, but gives access to some beautiful alpine terrain.

If you zoom in the second picture you can just see the end of Kinbasket lake just over the ridge.

Here’s a short video of the trip.

I’ll have to ask around, maybe where the radio tower on five mile is where it was.
