Tiara Peak

Tiara Peak is a pleasant scramble to a less-visited summit between Highway 40 and the Powderface Trail in Kananaskis Country. I did this route in mid September 2009 with Sparky, an old friend from England. The route passes Belmore Browne peak, climbs a couple of easy scramble steps, then takes a spiral around the Tiara across some rubbly slabs, before emerging on a clean rocky top with great views. This mountain is on the Golden Eagle migratory flyway, which sees around 3,000 eagles pass through in the space of about three weeks, en route between Alaska and warmer places to the south. We saw three of these fantastic, solitary birds up close as they soared past at the height of the summit.

I've posted some pictures here.
