Due to the short stats on the hike, I decided to do a quick climb up Jumpingpound Mountain before my maid-of-honour arrived into Calgary that day for some hikes we were going to do together. Going by Naismith's formula of approximately 1 hour per 5 km, plus an additional hour for 600 metres of elevation gain, I was estimating to ascend in about an hour and a half - barring any errors in route finding as it was my first time summiting. The trail was very well maintained and easy to follow though, with only one fork-in-the-road where I had to pull out my GPS map, and I summited quicker than anticipated. With the 4:15 a.m. start I had, I had about another half hour till sunrise and I was chilly, so I took shelter behind a large bush that was at the summit. Since the route is simple and I did not have many pictures of the route, I will just post some nice pictures of the summit, sunrise, and the bountiful wildflowers. Great warmup for the rest of the day!
