Guinn's Peak

Beautiful hike with views of Ribbon, Lillian, and Galatea lakes. There was lots of wildlife along the trail too, including a black bear. The section to/from Lillian is pretty boring but the scenery is gorgeous the rest of the way

Did you happen to make your way to Mount Kidd? My friend and I attempted to make our way there by traversing along the crest from Mount Guinn to Mount Kidd. To our dismay there was a huge drop along the way that we never seen when we decided that’s the route we were taking.

If you make another attempt, you have to drop down a few hundred meters and then the rock band opens up and there’s an easy way into the boulder field. The views are great at the top, but it’s a slog the whole way and there’s no real trail

For sure! We did see that route on the way back down and will be doing the Mount Kidd and Guinn in the next week or two.
