Remarks: http://www.peakfinder.com/peakfinder.ASP?PeakName=Mount+Foch http://tpr.alberta.ca/parks/kananaskis/parks_lougheed.asp The contributed photo shows Hwy 742 while driving north after passing the Lower Kananaskis Lakes to the south. Perfectionists will want to park on the west side of the road and possibly stand on something to get the elevated perspective used in the film. Just 0.2 km to the south you will find the Riding Lake site (see Chapter 15, 01 29 55). |
