Early season easy scrambling in the front ranges.
Door Jamb is an easy scramble and a short drive from Calgary.
8.2km / 800 m
Idea is to follow the trail to Door Jamb that allows for both scramble and hiking options; then keep up to Loder Peak and continue on with a descend to Jura Creek and completing the loop back to the parking lot via Jura Creek trail.
Alltrails: Door Jamb / Loder / Jura Creek
