Wasootch Ridge is a great ridge hike that's often snow-free early in the hiking season. It's easy to navigate as it gains quick elevation and travels along a ridge with spectacular views. The roadway below slowly evaporates from view on the ridge before a challenging scramble to the peak.

We suggest most hikers skip the scramble to the summit, as it's very exposed. However, the 5km before the ridge has no exposure and exceptional views. The result is a dog/kid-friendly hike that allows one to explore the alpine for an extended period. It is also the first hike we ever completed in the Canadian Rockies!
