"Rummel Ridge"
GR190335
Kananaskis Park
February 21, 2004

We did this as a car shuffle but we've also done it as a loop starting at the cutline, about 600 m south of Engadine Lodge. Head NE to the lower part of the ridge. The route entails losing elevation when you cross Rummel Creek (which a car shuffle avoids). After reaching the top, go to the col and descend the southeast slope for a short way before turning south. Avoid going down the avalanche slope. If you don't recognize it, you shouldn't be doing this snowshoe trip! Once you reach the trees, angle down toward the cutline and follow it back to the highway.
