bmike-vt: I guess I have to visit Zurich. I have been to Italy mountains but not elsewhere in Europe. My experience is that Europe is better for longer summer season, signage, trails, Refugios, gondolas and no bears to eat me; but Canada is better for smaller crowds and more natural. As I get older I am finding Europe more appealing. Glad you like the images. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott
dakel: I flew in and out for $200 each way, and stayed at the campground. You have to have a reservation at the campground to do the same. In the past I have walked in but then I am tired and can't bring as much camera equipment. Glad you like the photography. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott
IndyFab: I have met Sepp and Barb Renner - the custodians from 1983 to 2010. Sepp is a great guy and has climbed Assiniboine more than 60 times. The Renner family and Claude are wonderful - they guide their guests, feed them and entertain every night in summer and winter season. I have not met the previous custodian - Strom. If you can afford it - $500/night - its a great experience to have a warm bed off the ground, hiking guiding and wonderful hosts. The current owners also watch out for you and keep you safer. And I think comparing $500 to a first tier hotel in Banff - it no contest that Assiniboine Lodge is superior. You can also book the nasset huts - which are rudimentary to avoid sleeping on the ground but I prefer Lodge first, tenting 2nd, and Nassets last because I am not found of shared facilities.
