We hiked up the ridge two years ago but started too late to get a good day in so we turned back. So the plan this year is to get an earlier start so I am headed to Barnaby Lakes in mid-August, let me know if you are interested.
I will be camping at Lundbreck and it is about a 30 minute drive to the trailhead. I have attached (I hope) a picture of the Castle Mountain Ski Resort from the trail.
Regards,
Tim
