Getting There:
Heading west on the Trans Canada (Hwy 1), continue past the town of Banff, then take the turnoff on the right towards Mount Norquay. This roads winds up towards the ski hill for 6km, and the hike starts from the first parking lot at the lodge.
Additional Info:
This hike was organized by my work - so at 9AM we set off from the Mount Norquay Ski Lodge, heading to the Cascade Amphitheater, where some stayed behind to relax while the rest of us scrambled to the peak.
This cloud was stuck to the peak for quite a white, obscuring the view of Banff.

The cloud cleared off on our way down. Banff town on the bottom right, and Rundle Mountain directly ahead.
