Comment: Easy scramble
Park at the Wapta Lake Picnic Area (unsigned). The trail starts just right beside the picnic shelter.

(2) For about an hour and a half we reached the old fire lookout. The trail is clearly signed for the two forks we passed and is well used. From the Lookout, only a false summit is visible. We were fooled by it thinking we were very close.

(1) As you ascend higher up the rubble, you'll see the true summit... no wait, it's another false summit.

(2) Here we are, on the summit visible from the left photo. The weather was just perfect. A good break from a rainy and cloudy weekend.

(1) Walk for about three minutes to a slightly higher point to sign the register.

(2) We were both satisfied with the views on this short mountain. This is Sherbrook Lake and Mount Ogden. My favourite is the photo below. Mount Niles, the vanishing Niles Glacier, and the Pyramid.
This easy scramble took us 3:00hrs up and 2:30hrs down.
