The Canmore/Bow Valley Area is one of my favourite areas to scramble in. It's very close to Calgary, so if you're just doing
one scramble for the day, you could get up early, do the scramble and be back in Calgary by noon. To get to this
area, you just run out Highway 1 toward Banff. It's about an hour away. The mountains on this list are very accessible, right
next to the road, etc. Of course, Mt. Fable has quite a long approach, but the rest of them are good mountains, and this area
usually comes in season quite early. This is the second section of the scrambles book that I've completed. Woo hoo!!
