Ha Ling Peak

"Decided to try out the new trail. While it might be more pleasing to the eye, I don't know if it really is any safer at all. There were numerous dogs on the trail, and there was even two parties with cats as well." — BertB • Aug 15, 2019

"Corbin and I decided to hit up another mountain after the Baldy Traverse, we had banked on the trip potentially taking 8 hours and it barely took 4. So we decided to beat our past record of three summits in one day and aim to summit four. It was super super busy haha, obviously a very popular hike and an easy one. Took us 2 and a half hours with a 40 minute nap on the summit cutting into that time. " — TBird • Aug 20, 2016

"Wouldn't normally go, except that this was an off day. Saw three mountain goats, which is rare, but awesome. Busy with lots of people. Very little wind at the top and great weather made this a good ascent." — leigh-annewebster • Jul 2, 2016

"Evening trip up, while the sun was setting and down in the dark. Microspikes good for going down. Ice the whole way except the top. Really bad at the bottom till the firs switchback. Slow coming down in the dark I hugged a few trees." — Randy • Mar 8, 2016

"After bagging Mount Lady MacDonald in the morning, four members of the University of Alberta Outdoors Club attempted Ha Ling Peak (with three succeeding) despite scorching early season heat. " — Steven-Noel • May 23, 2015

"Awesome climb, a little icy with the snow left in the forest section. Snowstorm rolled in just as we got past the tree line but quickly went away so we could get an awesome view at the peak!" — trek29 • May 2, 2015

"Started from the Canmore Nordic Centre and jogged up the road to the trail head this added about 275 meters elevation gain and 5km each way. Total time 3 hours. Yes it was windy at the top again so I did not go to Miners peak although I was hoping to. Next time!" — Randy • Mar 29, 2015

"Short on time today decided to set a personal best for Ha Ling time 1hr to summit 1hr 32min return. Not to bad but not as fast as the guy that passed me 5 minutes before the summit. The well travelled trail is ice most of the way especially the bottom half. Hopefully the nice weather stays all week for the chance to summit a new peak next weekend. " — Randy • Mar 8, 2015

"Loads of snow on trails, outside tree lines wind was unforgiving.. from the Ha Ling Peak we had a great view of an avalanche on another mountain. It was a great natural view.." — HumbleYogini • Apr 20, 2014

"A solo trip just to see what the snow was like. Less than knee deep at the road. Mostly packed trail to tree line where the snow was well over knee deep. Then almost none above tree line to the summit. Thankful for a group of 3 who broke trail in the tree line area. A cloudy day with light snow the whole trip. Temperature of about -2c all day and very little wind. Time to go up 2h20m with very few short stops. Time to come down of 1h including a short lunch stop. Elevation gain for the trip 700m, YTD elevation gain 64668m." — MtnJohn • Dec 2, 2012
