Additional Info:
This hike was on Day 4 of our Mount Assiniboine backpacking trip. Windy Ridge is another popular hike in the Assiniboine area, however we saw no other people on this day (it was Sunday so we assumed that most people left, as Sunday is a helicopter day). Sadly, Steph's heel was in pain and Jaimie's hip and blisters (seriously the worst blisters known to man) were too much to bear so they turned around in order to rest up for the hike-out the next day. Stephen, Travis and I continued onto Windy Ridge. The views are stunning from the top!
