Itinerary:

I would ask that anyone who signs up for this hike has at least been double vaccinated against Covid. The exploratory tag is because I have never hiked this before but it looks straightforward enough. A 5km hike along the Skogan Pass trail before turning left on to the Pigeon Mountain trail. In the next 3km the trail gains 560m of elevation! Expected time on trail will be at least 6 hours. We must stay together as a group particularly on the Skogan Pass trail as I am seeing reports of bear scat along the way so be prepared to hike at my pace. Please read Leigh McAdam's hike report for her report on the hike - https://hikebiketravel.com/pigeon-mountain-hike/

Required Items to Bring:
Clothing for all weathers. Sufficient food and water for this length of a hike. A warm jacket as it may be chilly at the top.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Bear spray. Hiking poles.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Drive west from Calgary to the Dead Man Flat’s exit. Go south on the overpass and drive up a gravel road to a parking lot located just past the Banff Gate Mountain Resort. Google maps recognises either Banff Mountain Gate Resort or Pigeon Mountain trail.
