So you've done Ha Ling and enjoyed it, right? Well why not try a peak that offers a stunning view of Ha Ling?
A great trail that starts from a common trailhead with beautiful views of the Town of Canmore and Ha Ling Peak. Not too difficult, but great views.
Directions:
Drive into Canmore, towards the Nordic Center, then continue past the resoivoir/dams until you reach the Goat Creek trailhead parking lot on the right side. This parking lot serves the Ha Ling, Goat Creek, and EEOR trailheads.
Park your vehicle, then walk back along the road (Northerly) a couple hundred meters until you come to a double telephone pole on the left side. Start your ascent there.

UpsideBeautiful views of Canmore, Ha Ling, etc
DownsideLots of scrambling if you get off trail. We struggled to find the trails.
CommentNot my favorite hike. Very hard to stay on trail on ascent and descent. We ended up scrambling through scree and had to dodge falling rocks. bottom line - do your best to stay on trail!

UpsideQuick, Easy, Decent view for the effort
DownsideThe beginning takes requires some route-finding. I struggled to find a decent path up at the very beginning, and ended up doing a lot of bushwhacking.
CommentThis is a great entry-level scramble. As a hike, I'd call it moderate to difficult, but as a scramble/summit objective, I'd call it easy. Not the best scree I've seen, but it's better than, say, the west approach to Bogart. This is a good all-season objective, with relatively few objective dangers. View isn't the most spectacular I've seen, but it's easily attainable.

Upsidegreat view of Canmore. we were welcomed by a marmot which was lying on the ledge.
Commentthis was a moderate (not easy) hike. while the trail is faint sometimes, the trail direction is fairly consistent: up the side of the first bulge, then along the west side of the ridge.
what makes it moderate in my opinion was the scree and hiking up some moderately steep sections of rock.
