Backcountry Reservations - Skyline

Started at the Maligne Lake trailhead at 8 AM and hiked to the Signal Mountain trailhead, spending the night at Curator. Definitely Curator and Tekarra are by far the best campsites. First day we trekked for 8 hours, it wasn't too difficult, lots of beautiful scenery. You go downhill 400m and 2km to get to Curator. You go back up that the next day, plus another 400m to go over the Notch, but it's not technical, took us two hours from Curator to the pass. We took a small detour to see the Top of the Notch for a view. Rest of the day was a long, very exposed and windy walk along the ridge, downhill to Tekarra, back uphill for 2 hours to Signal Campsite, and then a long and very fast walk down and out along a fire trail. Took us 10 hours the second day. We regretted not doing a second night and staying at Tekarra, so beautiful there. Overall phenomenal hike, did it early September and there were no bugs. Not technical, just a lot of walking, very tiring on the feet and the shoulders with heavy packs.
