Itinerary description
|
Located in Kananaskis Country, just 45 minutes from Calgary, make this mountain a perfect destination to go with the family or as a workout when leaving work.
From the parking lot of Elbow Falls or Beaver Lodge, you have to look for the path that leads to this mountain since it is not indicated. In winter you can leave the car on the same highway 66 since that point is cut.
The road is easy but in some moments the slope is high, especially in the last stretch just before reaching the area without trees. At the top it is exposed to the wind, although we enjoyed a perfect day.
As a curiosity, a brave climbed with his paraglider and jumped from the top! The easy way down!
