To get to this mountain, park at Bow Falls near the Banff Springs
Golf Course. From there, you will see a trail on the other side of the
golf course. Follow that trail (a fire road) for quite some time. Then, the trail
branches off to the left and is rather flat with lots of switchbacks. The trail is easy
going until you cross an avalanche gully. From there, the trail is a lot more
narrow and immediately becomes steep. Once you break
the treeline, it's just a huge slope until you get to the summit.

07 Jun 97 - When I hiked this mountain, I forgot to bring my
camera, so I had to use George's pictures. Unfortunately, George doesn't take very many pictures,
and he only takes pictures at the top. Anyway, from the summit, we see two of the women
we were hiking with. In the background, you can see part of Banff. Notice the
terrain of Rundle. This is the type of terrain you will encounter from the treeline
to the top (lots of large loose rocks).

07 Jun 97 - Don't walk too far as you're approaching the summit.
It's straight down!!! In the background, you can see the first peak of Rundle, and in
the very background, you can see more of Banff.
