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.
