Trail Description:
I think it is better to do the trail in a counter clockwise direction, the fun part is coming down on the northface of the mountain.

Sections of the trail are very rocky and steep. Some walking required.

The scenery from the summit is worth all the hard work getting up there. Reward is even bigger once you start the downhill.

How to get there:
Hwy 1 west from Calgary to Hwy 68, south on 68 to Powder Face trail. Start at either the north trailhead (10 km from Hwy 68) or south trailhead (further 9.3 km).
