Shawn Bags Tangle Ridge – Jasper National Park

The trail up the ridge ascends above tree line very quickly and the views open up right away.

Because the trail ascends so quickly, its a summit photo already!

Although it is August, it is pretty cold on top.

The glacier with the tourist buses is below. If you look very carefully you can see a black spec on the left side of the glacier… that is a giant bus.

The views from the top are spectacular. I won’t write much more and just let the pictures speak for themselves.

Rather than descending the ascent route you can go on a magnificent ridge walk and then descend. If you look closely there are two people on the ridge… about halfway up the pic.
