Photo: Mount Alderson from the west on Mount Carthew (courtesy Alan Kane)| Mount Alderson is the other popular peak-bagger's objective on the Carthew-Alderson trail, Mount Carthew being the first. Although it is little more than a hike, it ranks as a fine viewpoint and probably sees less traffic than does its counterpart. Try from late June on. Kane, Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies page 40 |
