Accessible by foot from downtown Banff, the 2.3 km (1.4 mi) trail gently climbs from the St Julien Rd parking lot (Map 3, 16K), through an open forest to a ridge below the summit. From here you see the Fairmont Banff Springs and, a few steps beyond, the golf course. The best town and Bow Valley views are from the top of the summit ridge. — Andrew Hempstead
