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 hike at a moderate to fast pace - no slow
pokes, no whining - ski season is coming,
we gotta get these legs in shape!
Please review the ACC waiver prior to signing up
for the trip.
