On March 16 and 17 I talked to Adam, my niece's husband about Waterton Park and Forum Ridge. He has done considerable hiking in Waterton Park. He described to route to take to get to the boundry marker on Forum Ridge. He also advised me that I will likely encounter snow on the Ridge in June. However the snow should not pose a larger problem as it will be hard and I can likely walk on it. He anticipates no risk of avalanche and I will not likely need skis or snow pick and crampons to do the hike.

I have recieved a few offers from family members for logistical support which is very encouraging.
