Mount Rundle is one of the most iconic mountains in Canada's Banff National Park and overlooks the towns of Banff and Canmore, Alberta. Mt. Rundle actually extends for over 12 kilometers on the south side of the Trans-Canada Highway eastward from Banff to Canmore with seven distinct peaks along the way.
Circumnavigating Mt Rundle also happens to be almost exactly a marathon-distance loop. And with barely 800 m of elevation gain, it makes for a fast and flat day out on the trails.
