Ha Ling Peak ~ Colour & Black and White

One of the hikes that has been on my radar for awhile now is Ha Ling Peak, Canmore, Alberta. Finally, we were able to check it off the list. From a distance it appears to be extremely steep, which it is, but that is not what we need to climb. The trailhead is located on the other side, which has a more reasonable incline. This first picture is a view of the eastern end of Mount Rundle from what is called “viewpoint #2.”

A bit closer up. They call it Whiteman’s Pond actually, which seems like a strange name. Love the water colour.

This photo taken somewhere near viewpoint #1. Had to struggle with some light rain and wind during the hike. Oh how I wish the sun had made an appearance today! (It did on the way back home..)

I may have never thought of climbing it, but getting to one point there by being able to see directly the beautiful scenery is already very happy. It's incredibly beautiful nature @daveks

As always, the places you go hiking are always great. The view down to the lake from above is really phenomenal, but I can't imagine being that high up and daring to look down.

Your work is always great and the effort you put in to get to those places is even greater. Thanks so much for sharing your content in our community!

Appreciate that. I’ve made an effort to up my game here in the community over the last few months. Focusing on creating one good post a day, instead of two or three mediocre ones.

Beautiful. I remember driving by these mountains some 6 years ago. I had no idea about this gorgeous lake on top.

It’s hidden from view, just like many lakes and such.

The name of the Pond is really strange. Any interesting history behind this naming?

Why do you add one B&W photo after each colour photo?

Yeah, I don’t know anything about the name. I like black and white, that’s why publish both, sometimes.
