Dogs on Canadian Rocky Mountain Summits
Kona on Grotto summit on a cloudy mid-June day after ascending by the Bataan climbing wall trail. Summit cairn behind Kona has fallen or been taken apart so we rebuilt it – see below (Canmore and Bow Valley behind with Lady Macdonald at distant right).
Below, nice view of Three Sisters on way up.
Kona at top of Bataan climbing access route on Grotto Mtn. in early April. Three Sisters behind.
Kona at prominent cliff band above the quarry on east end of Grotto April 2nd. Lawrence Grassi, Ha Ling, Rundle across Bow Valley and Canmore behind. Below, view to main summit of Grotto (this high point of our hike isn’t the best approach to the summit, the left skyline ridge via the Bataan climbing area is more direct).
