Considering that Calgary is already at 1000meters, what is the vertical drop of the front range of the Rockies in your last picture ?

and an Edmonton beauty...

Eau Du Soleil will totally dominate Humber Bay. It will become the new peak in that skyline.

Just be prepared that it is actually quite a rough hike. I did all three peaks of Mount Seymour this past summer (haven't posted photos yet) and it was so exhausting. But the views are worth it.
