Challenging hike with a relentless ascent but stunning views. Make sure to have some energy for the way back down if doing this as a day hike.

Hit the trail at around 6am and was off by 1pm after spending an hour at the summit. Total moving time was about 6 hours. I was able to make it with just 2 liters of water packed. This was one of my new favorite hikes. It had everything very gentle and beautiful meadows. The peak was absolutely jaw dropping gorgeous. And it was such an easy trail to follow, well marked and plenty well structured board walks. Make sure you walk all the way to the pano view which is another .5 so you can see the entire ridge line. Definitely would recommend wearing spikes up there as the snow is pretty slick. This is a bucket list hike that should be on everybody’s to do list!

Very beautiful trail and views. Very difficult start with no view for 6km and steep. But it’s worth it.

August 2021 - We are not big hikers, so the +10k on a hot day was going to be a slog. We splurged for the gondola fare up to the roundhouse. The route via the musical bumps is nice terrain as you work your way up/down to singing pass. We stayed two nights at the new hut. That was worth booking the $50ppn. On the rest day I hiked along the Cowboy Ridge to the Adit lakes. The lakes are warmer than russet, so a nice place for a dip. Great views of Fitzsimmons Glacier.
For the hike out, we opted for to head back to the Roundhouse. We felt the terrain would be more enjoyable than the slog down Singing Pass trail. It was a good choice for us. Beers at the Roundhouse were a welcome reward.

Rainy and wet but great hike. The multiple peaks break it up nicely. The trail was super easy to follow as the snow was melted.

Good day climbing BlackTusk. Cold which made for great travel conditions but also meant ice and frost in the chimney.

Proved to be difficult. If you cannot walk 5-6 hours long, steep stretches only uphill (one way), this hike is not for you. Snow at the end of May made walking even more difficult, you should gear up. Beautiful views and incredible nature made it worth it even if we didn't get to the lake.

Boot packed up to junction at 6.5km mark then skinned ready of the way. Awesome snow and skiing on Price but a lot of work to get there. The Barrier was a super fun feature to ride on the way out with total spring conditions (good coverage but some rocks and really slushy). Beautiful views. With BCMC group; 5 of us ended up summiting.

Amazing. Rock field is rough then there’s is a steep ascent. Then more hiking and finally a stunning reward. Worth it. Take sunscreen on clear day. This is exposed and not in trees for much of hike.

The hike itself is fun with a little bit of everything. One section is a huge gradual uphill a bit on the boring side but great for a good chat to pass the time. There are a few good spots to replenish water,a small boulder field you’ll head through. The reward is when you reach the top, you’ll grin from ear to ear at the shear beauty before you. This is not a hike for the beginners and definitely have proper footwear weather can change in way up,it snowed once on way up in July so be prepared
