Missing image Cascade_Mtn_from_Canmore.jpg Cascade Mountain as seen from Canmore Cascade Mountain is a mountain located in the Bow River Valley of Banff National Park. The mountain was named in 1858 by James Hector after the waterfall or cascade on the southern flanks of the peak. The mountain can be climbed starting from Cascade Amphitheatre, a popular day hike near the town of Banff. The ascent must cross along the foot of the false summit, which is somewhat exposed and usually blocked by snow until mid July. Fortunately, this section of the route is visible from the townsite so it can be checked before committing to an attempt.
