This was a 3 day backpack to North Molar Pass in Banff. 5 people started the hike. Easy walk into Mosquito Creek Backcountry Campground (2 hrs). We soon learned why it was named that. 2nd day was a long trip (8 hrs) up to North Molar Pass. Beautiful alpine meadows filled with flowers. The final push to the pass had quite a bit of snow on it. The pass had great views in spite of the smoke from fires. We saw a wolverine in the distance. We returned to camp to re- learn why they named it Mosquito Creek. The walk out was easy (1.5hrs) Trails here are rugged with rock, tree roots and mud. 5 people returned. A great group and a memorable hike.
