Grotto Mountain Summit Scramble, traverse route from the south - After a short walk through a forested section, we cross the drainage we follow all the way up

            It was so great to finally explore a new route for us to the summit of Grotto Mountain. Driving through the Bow River Valley near Canmore and looking up to Grotto Mountain, we've always said to ourselves "There HAS to be a route to the top from the south!" We did the research and there did appear to be one, but there was very little good documentation, or records of people actually using it. It isn't the easiest route to the top, but it's a fun route for those who like an easy scramble. We gained a whopping 1490 m's altogether (almost 5000 feet), with just around 12 km's of return distance walking, and it took just under 8 hours.
