Itinerary: | |||||||
Distance: 18km
Elevation Gain: 655m; Loss: 335m Join us for a very full day of wandering and exploring. Though the pass is not exceptionally high, views are as rewarding as any in the park - a panorama of nearly every peak along a 70-km stretch of the Great Divide from Mount Assiniboine to Storm Mountain. Ref: Canadian Rockies Trail Guide. Note: This hike is a "for the views" effort (ie. your coordinator is doing it to see the views). In the event of less-than-scenic weather conditions, the coordinator will reschedule for herself, but try to find an alternate coordinator to take over this day (for those of you who still want to go). | |||||||
| |||||||
How to Get There: | |||||||
Event Directions: | Follow the Trans Canada Highway to the Sunshine Village Interchange, 9 km west of the town of Banff. Continue on the Sunshine Road for another 9km to the Bougeau Parking lot at the gondola base station. The Healy Pass trail begins from the parking area behind the base station to the right. | ||||||

Carpool Cost: | Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $84.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.30, effective Thursday, March 28, 2024). This is based on $0.16/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divide by 9. Alternately your carpool driver may choose to split the maintenance cost plus the actual gas cost among all in the vehicle. Your carpool driver will confirm exactly how much money they require to cover costs. Please split the actual cost among all people in the vehicle. | ||||||
Notes: | |||||||
Wondering why I put more spots on my slowpoke trips than on the moderate trips? Well, I figure that, generally speaking, the slowpokes are less experienced hikers than those signing up for moderate trips, and therefore are less likely to have the skills and knowledge required to coordinate their own trips. Those who are interested in going at a moderate pace are more often experienced hikers who can coordinate a trip of their own if they can't get onto one of my trips. Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at boss@calgaryoutdoorclub.com if you're interested in coordinating a hike. - Details of this event are subject to undergo a change at any point in time, with or without warning. - Notice any errors or problems in the information on this page?
