Tunnel Mountain
+ My Favorites
With its relatively easy hike to the top, Tunnel Mountain is a popular climb for visitors wanting a bird’s eye view of the Bow River Valley as well as the surrounding mountain ranges. This 1,690 m (5,544 ft) tall peak takes about an hour to hike and leads hikers through natural alpine forest. The trail, as marked by map, begins on the north side of St. Julien Road. The name Tunnel Mountain comes from an 1883 proposal, which was not realized, to create a tunnel through the mountain for the CPR railway.

Mount Rundle
+ My Favorites
Although a modest 2,949 m (9675 ft) tall, Mount Rundle is one of the more photographed mountains in Banff because of its idyllic location, the peak often being reflected in the waters of the Vermillion Lakes. A characteristic feature of Mount Rundle is the series of long corrugated layers that appear on the mountain’s face. The peak was named for this geological pattern, which is known as the Rundle Formation.
