Generation Go Experience: Bryan Kettles- Alberta Scramble

Mount Lady MacDonald Canmore, Alberta.

Years ago I took a cross country trip that would change my life forever.  On a warm summer morning in May of 2000, a friend and I pack up a red Chevy pick-up truck and said goodbye to friends and family.  Our four day journey would take us from Southern Ontario to the Rocky Mountains in Alberta. So many books have been written on this kind of journey but it is best understood if you do it yourself.  From the trees and rocks of Northern Ontario to the flat plains of Saskatchewan onto the mountains of Alberta, it is a once in a life time trip you will never forget.  Many years have passed since my first journey across Canada however; I have always made it my mission to return at least once a year.  One of my favourite scrambles to climb is definitely Mount Lady MacDonald in Canmore, Alberta.
