Travel Directions: Remarks: http://www.peakfinder.com/peakfinder.ASP?PeakName=Mount+Lorette http://www.albertaparks.ca/bow-valley.aspx Birdwatching enthusiasts may be interested to know that thousands of Golden Eagles pass over Mount Lorette on their annual migration path. Warm thermal winds, sweeping high above the Kananaskis and Bow River Valleys, create a natural pathway that essentially “vacuums” the eagles southward in the fall, and northward in the spring. Astoundingly, the migration route went unnoticed by humans until 1992.
