Hiked Mount Lipsett yesterday —14.5 km with 719 metres of elevation gain. The wildflowers, unusual rock formations and views from the ridge were beautiful.
Afterward, I discovered a strange story connected to the area. In 1967, three men near the Highwood Ranger Station reported seeing a silent metallic object descend toward the trees. They claimed it hovered, dropped something smaller into the wilderness and then disappeared at high speed. Two photographs were taken and the incident was investigated, but never conclusively explained. Last picture.
