Distance: 9km with 1000m ascent

Duration: 5.5 hours

Difficulty: Hard (very steep climb towards summit of Ha Ling)

Desirability: Absolutely worth the effort for the unbelievable views! Excellent 'bang for your buck'.

Description: Well marked and maintained trail taking you through the forest, up some very steep sets of stairs before emerging at the rocky ascent up to Ha Ling.  Not many people bother with Miners Peak but its just a short 30 mins or so over to the summit and the views are insane.  Plenty parking at the trail head and its easy to hitch a ride from Canmore town.
