Heart Mountain

Heart Mountain, someplace we could climb to.  Maybe it represents the greatest achievement in life, caring for another more than oneself, and making it a journey together.  The most enduring cause in life is loving.  Some of us love without hope. Maybe Heart Mountain and all the other repetitions of the heart shape in the natural world are God's way of showing us where our priorities should be with eternity as our perspective.

Climbing Heart Mountain

Heart Mountain is a mountain located in the Bow River valley just south of Exshaw, Alberta. The peak was named in 1957 for the heart shaped layer of limestone near the top.
The summit can be reached by following the northwest ridge starting from the Heart Creek Trail. It is an easy scramble with one moderate step. Being in the front ranges and only an hour from Calgary, it sees many visitors year-round. A circuit route can be completed by following the ridge line as it circles left and then descends to Quaite Creek.
