Rocky, roots, steep but short. It offers a difficult challenge but its over quickly. With a beautiful view at the top you get to stand next to a Canada Flag with a 360 view from the top.

Description

Prairie Mountain is doable year round. In the winter and shoulder seasons you will need spikes to stay upright while ascending and descending. Ice builds up on the steep sections.

Summer it has exposed roots and rocks where it makes the terrain more technical.
