MOUNT WARD
Elevation:
2530 m
Difficulty: Easy scramble
Round Trip Time: 2.5-5 hours
Height Gain: 625 m
Map: 82 G/1 Sage Creek |
Despite the simplicity of the ascent and its proximity to
locally-popular Window Mountain Lake, Mount Ward has largely
been overlooked in favour of locally famous Crowsnest Mountain
nearby. Still, the view from the top is worthwhile and allows
a close look at the scramble route up to the huge window in
nearby Window Mountain, another Crowsnest area landmark. This
is a comparatively short trip that can be extended to a full
day to include more difficult scrambling along connecting
ridges south to Allison Peak. Try from June on. |
