This is a great conditioner and a Pre-Turkey Burnoff !!! The route for this hike is well traveled & the climb is steep, though this is well worth the effort. The view from a tongue of land at the top is spectacular; Calgary to the east, Moose Mountain to the north and Banded Peak and range to the west.
