Mount Bourgeau (2931m) is an easy scramble (or
advanced hike) but a long day with 1500 metres of
elevation gain and a round trip distance of over
23km.
There are excellent views along the trail, and
finishes with a 360 degree vista which includes
the Bow River Valley, the town of Banff, Sunshine
Village ski resort and even Mt. Assiniboine, if
we're lucky! We will travel at a moderate pace and
the group will stay together throughout.
Please review the ACC waiver prior to signing up
for the trip.
