I used to guide trail rides up to the top of that ridge. Mystery Lake was also primarily a horse trail. Parks Canada took the stable out of there in the late 80's I believe.
The path to the false summit is a wide trail, you could drive a small ATV up there if it was legal! The last part to the summit, it’s mainly rocks & scree, don’t need a trail and it’s wide open with maybe a 50 degree incline for a few hundred meters. No hands involved besides on your poles if you use them for ascending.
It was 3:08 total time (top to bottom) including a 30 mins rest for lunch at the lookout. If you look at the Naismith rule, it should take 2:55 total time without breaks for the average hiker. My times are usually quite modest because I have to make a lot of stops to record video, so I’m probably a fast hiker but average speed due to my content production.

Excellent video
Great detailed video!
It’s an easy trail but definitely stunning views. The wind feature at the top is also routine, so those crazy winds we’re kind of the norm
Did you need to scramble at all or was it all walkable trail?

Hi, is the 3hr hiking time includes the descent or it is just for going to the top?
Great video. Thanks!
