Mount Assiniboine: Sunshine Village to Mount Shark

08/28/16

This was such an amazing trip! We went mid August and only had a little rain the first day but nothing too bad. Night one we had planned to stay at Porcupine but after getting a recommendation from some other hikers , we went a little bit further and stayed at Police meadows shelter. This was perfect because it had been raining and this gave us a dry place to sleep. The surrounding views are awesome and I'd highly recommend staying here. Night two and three we stayed at Lake Magog. Climbed Nub Peak on our layover day. We then hiked wonder pass to Marvel lake. Day five we hiked out to Mt Shark where we were able to catch a ride with some friends we had made on the trail. I had arranged a cab to be there ahead of time since you won't have cell service at Mt Shark but was able to pass it off to some other hikers since we caught a free ride with some other hikers. I will definitely be going back to the Canadian Rockies!
