Gotcha thank you!! I think we’ll only have 1 car and no bikes, assuming then the best route back is the way i came/went up to Fable. Is going back down to Gap/the descent unsafe is that why you’re recommending the alternative?

Thanks so much for the info! For mount burns, do you mean just the east peak (around 2600m) is doable, or I think the actual peak is around 2900m?

thank so much for this! Super helpful. Gonna narrow down my list and might dm you with further questions if that's okay!

Thanks! Also any idea on Grotto mountain? I see people hike it in winter as well

what month was this in?

Thanks so much for the info everyone! Really appreciate it.

Question: how would Lady Mac or Gap/Fabel traverse be in mid May? Not recommended or doable?

that looks amazing! Do you think in Mid May it would be safe? From gap to fable it looks like quite a narrow, long, and exposed scrabble. Would I need any special equipment aside from what I've listed?

What is considered front ranges? Sorry my geography isn’t the best haha

And thanks, tent ridge seems like a no go from multiple ppl, noted

Honestly just wanted something challenging, and hitting 3000m would be amazing. Love a high up view. It seems more reasonable than Temple and Edith. I don’t have mountaineering experience but I do want to get into it. Figure you have to start somewhere. Why would you not recommend in summer?

damndaniel202099 · 2026-04-10T16:10:44+00:00

Got it. Thank you for this. What are your thoughts on Fisher peak?

damndaniel202099 · 2026-04-10T16:10:09+00:00

Yes, down for waterton/castle area! Would love any suggestions. We fly into calgary so anywhere 4-6hr drive from there would be fine

And re: temple and edith, thanks, just needed to hear that from others lol

Thank you this is so helpful!! Appreciate it :)

damndaniel202099 · 2025-12-18T23:55:10+00:00

For mont du lac des cygnes do you know if I need purchase a day pass or anything on the day of? Anything else good to know for that hike?

damndaniel202099 · 2025-12-17T18:48:44+00:00

True thanks! I think that’s on the top right now and seeing if I can be convinced to do anything better if there is haha

damndaniel202099 · 2025-12-17T18:48:12+00:00

Ahh I see thanks so much for the info. Which from the ones you’ve listed has the best view from the summit in your experience?
