The mountain on the north side of the valley, facing Canmore. Alberta Parks lists it at 2.7 km each way (5.4 km return) with 1425 m of elevation gain.
Important: only a short portion near the start is maintained; most of it is a scramble route over rock. As with any unmaintained route, losing your way or footing can have serious consequences: know the way up and down before you go.
The trailhead is on the east side of Canmore; Alberta Parks marks it on the map in its official trail page. Check the map before you go.
📍 Cougar Peak Route, Canmore, Alberta T1W 1G6, Canadá
Summer, according to Alberta Parks. With snow or ice the scramble route becomes much more dangerous.
This is bear country: carry bear spray, make noise and check Alberta Parks advisories for Bow Valley Wildland before you go.
