20 Jun 99 - Here is Mt. Fairview as seen from Lake Louise Townsite. From the Chateau, it would be the
first mountain on the left as you look around the lake. The view from Fairview is quite nice. To get there,
park in the upper parking lot. Walk through a trail on the south side of the parking lot. Which connects with
another trail. Turn left and follow this trail to the end. You will see a sign which points you to either saddleback
or fairview lookout. Follow the path to Saddleback. After numerous switchbacks going through the forest, you will eventually
come to the Saddleback Fairview col. From that point, just head up the fairview slope. I'm sure there is a path;
however, when I was there, it was all covered with snow. I don't think it really matters, just head up the slope.

20 Jun 99 - On the right side of the slope, you can use big rocks as a way to come up. This would
avoid what probably is scree under the snow.

20 Jun 99 - Here is a better picture of the rocks. As you can see, Tina isn't carrying anything. She's just
getting into shape, so I (being the nice guy that I am) am carrying her stuff.
