Mount Mann looms over the apocalypse that is the remains of the entrance road to the Sentinel Provincial Recreation Area - destroyed in the 2013 floods.There's a distinct trail running up alongside Cataract Creek on it's western side.There's a distinct trail running up alongside Cataract Creek on it's western side.Spring has finally sprung in the Rockies!A very unexpected, charming backcountry scene awaits me mere minutes from the highway - separated only by a small ridge and a river.After a week of melting, Cataract Creek is running hot.How did I not know about this enchanting little creek?Time to keep hiking. The sun is setting to the west.Time to keep hiking. The sun is setting to the west.Looking back up the landscape "ramp" that leads obviously up towards Mount Mann (L) with North Limestone Ridge in sunlight at right.Starting up the easy ramp.A stunted, twisted forest that looks worse than it is - probably easier without leaves.Looking back over Cataract Creek with Mount Burke in the background.Looking back over Cataract Creek with Mount Burke in the background.Looking up to the "crux".An easy, fun rockband to scramble up to the South Ridge proper.Looking up Cataract Creek (south) from the rockband.Fantastic view over Cataract Creek showing North Limestone Ridge with Miller Creek (Zephyr) in the background.Back to easy hiking up the south ridge towards the summit. It's further than I thought and even innocent snow patches can be crotch deep up here.Back to easy hiking up the south ridge towards the summit.
