Review & FAQ:
Also known as Mount John Laurie, Mount Yamnuska is located right on the outskirts of the Rocky Mountain Range and is one of the first mountains you'll encounter when driving west from Calgary. The mountain is easily recognizable thanks to its steep rock face, and the summit sits at 7,350 feet. Reaching the summit of the mountain requires a fairly strenuous climb that is not typically recommended in the dark, but there are plenty of good viewing spots near the base of the mountain that will allow you to marvel at its sheer rock face while enjoying a spectacular aurora show.
