Mount Wilcox pales in elevation compared to neighbours Athabasca, Andromeda and Kitchener, but its strategic location and straightforward route makes it far more accessible to the average hiker or scrambler. When the weather cooperates, Mount Wilcox offers possibly the best view in the entire Rockies for the energy expended. On a clear day the panorama simply can't be beat. Try from July on.
