Map of the route I took.

On the way to the trail head I stopped and took a photo of Mt Kidd and the highway..

After leaving the trees, making my way up to the Eagle Ridge/Mist col.

Looking back in the approach valley. The two ladies behind were moving steadily fast and I tried to stay ahead of them. Consequently I was out of breath a lot.

At the col, looking up to towards the approach valley.

The light at the col was fun, I love long shadows.

Across the valley from the col, the hot springs have become quite popular and attract a bunch of folks.

Looking up to the valley beneath the summit..There's a pretty well worn path carved into the rocks.

Looking back, the girls are pressing still.. The light was awesome and I couldn't help to take some photos.

Down at the bottom of the valley, the trees are starting to turn.

Looking back at the col. I'm almost as high as eagle ridge.

My ascent.. On my gps, there was a trail labeled 'alternate route' which I'd read was good to ascend because it'd be slab and rubble rather than loose scree.

Getting a little higher, looking back. The haze is building.

First look at Mist's summit ridge. tbh, it looks a little intimidating, my approach will be from the right along the ridge and I'm hoping to descend along the darker rock line.. it looked pretty steep from here.

Closer to the top of the ridge now.. the ascent to the Mist summit is looking a little bit more reasonable now.

I hiked over to the Mist outlier.. Looking over the rim to the north east.

Zoomed in view towards the SW.

Looking towards the summit of Mist. A figure appears in the col

A view towards the main summit from the outlier.

I'd met a couple of women at the col that weren't interested in reaching the main summit, they had asked about descent options and I told them of my ascent line which wasn't "too steep" they left to ascend the outlier before heading down.

Looking towards the NE from the ridge.
