Street and Nye on a cold January day
1 month ago

In bullet point form, here it is:
- I started from Deux-Montagnes at 5:00AM and was at the trailhead by 8:15. At that time the border crossing was a breeze.
- I missed the “Old Nye ski-trail” branch off (concentrating on some music I was listening) and didn’t realize it until I was 2.5km passed it. Add 5km to the normal Street/Nye hike because of this stupid mistake
- I was heading back down from summiting by 12:30 and was back down at the Loj just before 3:00 PM
A cold day it was; very cold. Luckily, there were no winds to speak of at the top. The views on Street are good looking across towards the MacIntyre range from a different perspective than I was used to.
The stats
- Street Mountain stands at 4150 feet and stands at #31 in the 46er list.
- Nye Mountain is actually below four thousand feet at 3895 feet. You can read about why here.
- The hike was about 20km and was done in just under 7 hours.
The photos
- On the way up. Cold!
- River crossing early on the trail
- This is the first time this winter that I put them on! Picture worthy.
- A walk over which I surnamed “The Proctologist”
- Looking towards the MacIntyre range
- The un-ceremonial summit of Nye
- Looking across Heart Lake
