Sulphur Mountain - A Banff Gem

Overlooking Banff, Sulphur Mountain is often overlooked as a scrambling destination mainly due to the fact that you can take a gondola to the Observatory 700m above the townsite.  Up until a few days before this outing, I thought that Sanson Peak was actually the summit and the hike included a boardwalk and stairs. 

As I found out, this is not the case, in fact Sulphur Mountain is a 4km long mountain ridge and Sanson Peak is only one of 4 Peaks.  The true summit lies about 2.5km southwest of the Observatory and the trail provides some safe and fun scrambling along with a faily easy hike that I think can be done year long.
