Elevation Gain:930m
Total Distance: 12.6km Although listed as a scramble, Bow Peak is mostly a very steep off-trail hike. If you enjoy easy scrambles with excellent views, this trip is sure to leave you satisfied.
I have done this hike before but it has been a while. I have a good idea where the starting point is but your patience would be appreciated in case I have trouble locating the starting point.
After the hike we will be stopping in Canmore for dinner. Please Note: There will be a creek crossing on this hike. All participants must bring creek crossing footwear such as Crocs or sandals. This trip is best suited to strong hikers or scramblers. | |||||||
