Distance: 12.8KM loop(as per GPS) Elevation: 915M(as per GPS)
One of the best loop hikes within the Banff vicinity, the Mt Edith-Cory Pass loop is a 12.8 km trail for strong hikers only. We will go counter-clockwise and thus at the first trail junction at 1.1km - this will take us first towards Edith Pass, then we will skirt around the back through Gargoyle Valley and the dog-tooth spire of Mt. Louis looming above to the north.
Eventually we'll ascend up to the Cory Pass, which opens up to expansive views of the Bow Valley and many of the mountain ranges across the valley.
The trail then drops mercilessly down the south face, - hiking poles are a godsend on this slope. We will move at a Moderate pace but make brief stops to enjoy the views.(pls NO speed demons, No slowpokes or Beginners) Since there is currently bear activity in the area the group is expected to stay/hike as a group. Please note that this is an exploratory trip. NOTE:This event may be canceled or changed if weather forecast detoriates significantly | |||||||
