At 2300 meters high, Wasootch Peak can be climbed with an easy but tiring scramble. Located in the Kananaskis Region (Alberta), only 1h20 away from Calgary, this short distance high elevation hike is a real leg burner. The summit is worth the effort though, with a 360-degree panorama of the region, including the Natiska ski resort, Wasootch Ridge, Porcupine Ridge and even Midnight Peak. https://www.cnotremonde.com/en/itineraries/alberta-en/wasootch-peak-2/

Description
À 2300m d’altitude, Wasootch Peak est une montagne dont le sommet est accessible par un scrambling facile mais éprouvant. Située dans la région de Kananaskis (Alberta), à seulement 1h20 de Calgary, cette randonnée de courte distance et au fort dénivelé est un vrai “leg burner” (expression angloghone se traduisant par “bruleur de jambes” - En gros, c’est très demandant en montée). Le sommet rocheux mérite l’effort en offrant un panorama à 360 degrés sur la région et notamment sur la station de ski Natiska, le mont Kananaskis, Wasootch Ridge, Porcupine Ridge ou encore Midnight Peak. https://www.cnotremonde.com/randonnees/alberta/wasootch-peak/
