Looking at the path to the East summit. Mount Rundle is a long long mountain. (About 13 km) The actual summit is West end, closer to Banff town.

As much snow there was, still Rundle was one of the driest mountain I could see. There was a snow storm last week and the snow didn't melt much.

We were originally planed to ridge walk towards West, but there were too much snow and decided to stay only at the East summit which is on the right side of the picture.
