Really nice view to the saskatechwan glacier. We were impressed, no people, a bit hard with snow but it's possible.

Nice hike. Short and rewarding. We did it today. Snow wasn't a problem anymore, but bring hiking boots and warm clothes. Up on the mountain it's very windy. It took us 45 mins to get to the viewpoint and 35 mins back. The official map says 3 hrs return, which seems a lot.
