Spent the last 6 days at Bow Hut mountaineering on the Wapta Icefield. Lots of glacier ice exposed, I'd bet that it is possible to go from the Bow Hut to the Peyto Hut on bare ice right now. We made detours to stay in the glacier troughs and avoid the bulges that are showing many crevasses. Great travel overall and the best week of weather this summer.

Happy trails,
