Exshaw Mountain rises above the Bow Valley near the town of Exshaw, Alberta, offering a steep but rewarding hike with sweeping views of the surrounding Rockies. The route climbs through forested slopes before breaking into open scree and grassy ridges that look out toward Mount Yamnuska, Grotto Mountain, and the Bow River below. It’s a challenging, lightly trafficked ascent best suited for experienced hikers comfortable with off-trail navigation and steep terrain.
