| Description |
A much different look at the Sanson Peak Weather Station compared to the last time I was here where it was covered in fog and I couldn't see much of anything. Sanson Peak is named after Norman Bethune Sanson who was at one time the curator of the Banff Park Museum. He made over 1000 trips up to this peak while working as park meteorologist. The weather station is still intact and you can peek through the windows to see artifacts on the inside. I've now found that you'll past directly under the Banff gondola on sectors 5-11 and 24-27. The sectors in the teen's just fly by like nothing. So, for a while near the bottom, you'll see the gondola and then they disappear for a bit. When you see the gondola again, you'll be almost finished. With the recent warming and cooling, the hiking trail has turned quite slick and the hard packed snow doesn't offer much grip. We strapped on the crampons at the trail-head sign. You can probably strap them on at the car in the parking lot too, plenty of ice there as well. A pair of el cheapo 6 point crampons will do, we're not ice climbing here. Be careful when visiting!
