EIFFEL PEAK
Elevation
: 3084m
Difficulty:
Moderate scrambling via southeast slopes
Round Trip Time: 4.5-9 hours
Height Gain: 1230m
Map:  82 N/8 Lake Louise

Eiffel Peak overlooks the Valley of Ten Peaks, a scene once pictured on Canadian $20 bills. The entire landscape is dazzling. If the weather is unsettled, this scramble is a practical alternative to more demanding Mount Temple and gives a good view of Mount Temple's normal route. With Eiffel's spectacular location amid the Rockies' grandeur, it should be on any scrambler's list. Although there may be bigger peaks nearby, the summit view here ranks with the best. Try this from July on.
