This mornings hike will be to climb one of the Bald hills by Maligne Lake. It is about 10km with an elevation gain of 500 metres. The hike itself isn't too interesting as it follows an old fire road. A highlight though is a field where there is a white tailed deer which for some reason gets spooked by me even though I was 30m away from it. I then get treated to the sight of it running and jumping away into the forest. It had nothing to worry about though as it was well out of bear spray range. The final summit section is quite steep but worth the effort as the view is pretty spectacular. The lake glistens in the sunlight and the surrounding peaks are lit up as well. The usual suspects are on the mountain - everyones favourite rodent the marmot and also the golden mantle squirrel.Pictures (Left) - View from the summit, (Right) - View of the Lake
