Left early in the morning for the Sulphur Mountain.Was given lift by a group of bagpackers till the downtown area .
Reached the base of the Sulphur Mountain at around 10:00 .It was like there is some free service available by a hotel but i was not able to sneak in for that and so after some time took taxi till the base for the lack of time .
Though during my previous visit i had been to the Sulphur Mountain but then this time it was completely different as the whole trail and the surroundings were covered in the snow .It took around 1 1/2 hr to reach on the top .
This time the view from the top was completely different of the Canadian Rockies around as most of them were coverered in snow .And the formations made by the clouds around the mountains was breathtaking.
It was really tough to go around in the snow .Though the actaul Obervatory site on the Mountain was closed due to safety reason .
Took a different trail this time and jsut wandered around the other side of the mountain through the snow .It was gr8 but then was getting cold at the feet since I was just wearing the normal sports shoes.
And once the feet start getting cold its diffidult to walk and the whole body starts to behave in different manner.Thats probably mental cause they litrally freeeeeeeeeeeez.
Came down again on the same trail.On the way back many fellow climbers on their way up to the top .
At the base of the mountain they have a Sulphur Mountain Pool where in you can stay in the water .
That was a very soothing epxerince as from the climb and cold i was tired so went directly in the pool and was in there for almost and hour.
Then again had to walk back till downtown as no other means was available .In all had a good walk of almost 15 kms..........................
Again in the evening met Nick and joined them for the chat after dinner .Had a gr8 time with the whole group and was there till almost 2 am .
