Mount Rundle is possibly the most
popular scramble around Banff, if not in all of the park. From
the west its unique shape demonstrates a classic dip-slope or
writing-desk geological formation. When snow free you'll
encounter few difficulties ascending the gentle, west slopes,
which offer a fine view of beautiful Bow Valley and distant
summits. Although straightforward, over the years this
alluring mountain has contributed more than its share of
call-outs for Parks rescue service. The windswept route is
often clear of snow and in shape by May. |
