Route Description for Mount Aeneas
Hiking to Mount Aeneas is a truly remarkable adventure in the Invermere area that will leave you speechless after experiencing the breathtaking views from the summit. The trail initially sets out from the parking area and climbs uphill through the forest before breaking out into the beautiful alpine terrain of Pedley Pass. Shortly after the pass, you find a small alpine lake and will be surrounded by the dramatic, rocky peaks of Mount Aeneas and Pedley Ridge. Continue past the lake and through the gully to work your way up the scree slopes towards the summit.
After some light scrambling, you will arrive at the top of Mount Aeneas and be greeted with a spectacular panoramic view of the surrounding mountain peaks that include Indian Head Mountain to the south, Mount Pedley to the southeast, and Mount Tegart to the west. After basking in the breathtaking views, carefully make your descent of the mountain and head back through the pass for the return journey home.
