The Banff Highline Trail is a wonderful journey through the Canadian Rockies during which we encounter much of the diversity to be found in these beautiful mountains. Day after day we cross spectacular passes interspersed with alpine lakes. Craggy peaks give way to the massive gun-metal grey limestone slabs typical of the Front Ranges. A daily constant will be Mount Assiniboine's massive pyramid, first seen from Arnica ridge on Day 2, gradually getting closer until we reach its base three days later then to be last seen as we drive back to Canmore with more than 100 km of trail behind us.
