A demanding route leading to the summit of Big Sister, this trail climbs steeply through forested slopes before opening into rocky alpine terrain. The final sections involve hands-on scrambling and route-finding along loose scree and exposed ridges, requiring experience and confidence in mountain travel. Early starts, proper gear, and stable weather are essential — but the views over Canmore and the Bow Valley make the effort worthwhile.
