The Exshaw Mountain Trail begins just outside the town of Exshaw and quickly climbs through dense forest before opening onto rocky slopes with expanding valley views. The route is steep and often faint, requiring some route-finding as you gain elevation toward the summit ridge. Though demanding, the climb rewards hikers with panoramic views of the Bow Valley, Mount Lougheed, and the rugged peaks surrounding Canmore.
