Awe Inspiring Endless Panorama Mountains while Hiking up Midnight Peak 📷

I have thoroughly enjoyed the awesome skylines and endless peaks you can see once on the summit of a local mountain, named Midnight Peak. The Kananaskis Rockies where I live in Alberta, Canada, offer some great hikes and even better views when you achieve the summit. Here's one photo set from Midnight Peak, which I've hiking (climbed) several times and will definitely do again.

This shows just how steep a bit of the approach is, there are some easier switchbacks and hiking routes, but I like to find the more difficult spots, especially if it means I have to get my hands dirty, for some rock scrambling. No exception here and great fun!

Definitely need to take careful stpes, a slip here would not feel too good. You can see some of the rocks shiney from moisture, making it even more slippery!

The Summit Views

The hike up is great, but the real views are the awe and wonder from the summit. Here are a few panoramas to wet your appetite.

Midnight Peak here in the front range, offers a great view out to the many distant peaks.

These ridges are all alternate routes and hikes to to nearby summits. I've not done them all yet, so must return to explore some more!

I love this image, as it shows many of my favorite peaks and the long lower right to mid left ridgeline is a great 10km ridge walk with fantastic scrambles and still good in winter or shoulder seasons. This is Wasootch ridge and I've had many stories on that mountain, I'll post someday.

This final image, you can see in the distant center, the ski hill, Nakiska, which was home to the 1988 winter Olymnpics here in Calgary.
