Cascade Mountain near Banff

It turned out to be a little bit harder than estimated - I kind of thought it would be easy. We walked along the ski road past the very last ski lift and then turned onto the trail that was marked amphitheater. From there we climbed a long forested trail into the bowl of the amphitheater. Then we climbed a ridge looking down into the bowl, and then behind a small mountain across a huge scree slope, and then up to the big goal - where we could see Banff. We chilled for a while and headed down. Mistakenly we tried to descend via the bowl but that was a mistake, it was too sketchy, and after some scary incidents including a massive boulder literally almost crushing me, we bailed, reconnoitered and got the hell out of there. We didn't bring quite enough water - overall underestimating things a bit. And I did not have my water filtration system or pills. Nature was very instructive basically. Of note the forest fires made things very misty, and it did spatter rain on us - but we had gear.
