Ishpatina Ridge (Moose mountain)

  • 2013-01-26 12:34:04
    Found one mountain called Ishpatina ridge, tallest mountian in ON a total of 1000vertical feet, looks like a hike and a half to get in about 20km hike to get there through thick busch and then the hike up the mountian if I take a look at it i'll let you know what I think!

    Where aboust was the day trip?

    There is a company that regularly takes people up Ishpatina (highest point in Ontario), but it's a good three days trip to get in there. I have hiked the mountain in summer, and yes it's skiable from my perspective, but mine is a minority opinion.
