Distance: 17.0 km return Elevation gain: 1050 m
The summit of Cirque Peak is small but the
panorama is vast and
one of the best you can find in the Rockies,
and
the trail to Helen
Lake is among the quickest routes to alpine
meadows and views
that you will find in the Banff area. Cirque Peak (2993m) is a non-technical scramble up scree slopes from Helen Lake. The summit offers stunning panoramic views. The name "Cirque" describes the amphitheater formed by adjacent peaks. Note: This trip is best suited to strong hikers. We will be going at a relaxed pace. You must agree to stick with the group for the entire trip in order to participate. | |||||||
