Trip: Mount Wow - Via Lake Allen

Trip Date: 06/02/2025

Trip Report:

 

Climbed Mount Wow with Dwayner today. Very enjoyable hike to Lake Allen up the very steep boot path, then mostly snow to the short ledge. Bare there and above. Flowers are starting to show everywhere the snow isn't hanging around. About 4000' gain/loss in only about 6 1/2 miles round trip. Steep.

 

 

Gear Notes:
Mountain boots still helpful. Ice axe too.

Approach Notes:
It's a boot path to the lake.

I've always wanted to go up there....but haven't.  Thanks for the reminder that it is still on the list!  I like how you didn't include a photo of the Mountain.

Haha. Yes, very foreshortened. I think the only place to see the "whole" mountain is from Beljica above Lake Christine. Not sure you can get there anymore as the road is closed? From inside the park, there are some views from below Round Pass--but the mountain is basically just a long cliff/ridge. A traverse from Lake Allen to Lake George would be VERY interesting! 

 

These are the best I can do from yesterday:

Oh, duh! You meant THE mountain!🤣
