GRIZZLY PEAK Elevation: 2500m Difficulty: An easy scramble via south and east slopes Round Trip Time: 4-6 hours Height Gain: 900m Map: 82 J/14 Spray Lakes Reservoir (unmarked at 328249) |
This small summit sitting by Grizzly Creek is unnamed on maps, but Grizzly Peak bears inclusion for accessibility and the view alone. West of Mount Evan-Thomas and beside the road, it offers an outstanding view of the Kananaskis Valley, vertically-tilted Opal Range summits and the Elk Pass area. Sitting right above Kananaskis Trail, the steep, slabby west aspect looks daunting and reveals nothing of the easier backside. That side can be seen from a few kilometres farther south or along the south end of Smith-Dorrien Road. Sheep trails offer a reasonable approach. Try from about mid-June on. |
