Travel Directions:
Jack Ascending (Mount Inflexible) is in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, on the east side of Hwy 742, 48.5 km south of the Three Sisters Drive intersection in Canmore, and 11.0 km north of the Mountain Highway (Mount Foch). Park in the Sawmill Day Use Area.

To reach Hwy 742 (also known as Spray Lakes Rd. / Smith-Dorrien Rd.): From Hwy 1 (Trans-Canada Hwy), use Exit 91 “Hwy 1A - Canmore.” Follow Bow Valley Trail 2.2 km, turn left (northwest) onto Railway Ave. Proceed 0.5 km and turn left (west) at Main St. (also known as 8th St.), go 0.6 km and turn left (south) onto Bridge Rd. (also known as 8th Ave. / Rundle Drive). At the “T” intersection, turn left (south) on Three Sisters Drive, proceed 0.6 km and turn right (west) at Spray Lakes Rd. (also known as Hwy 742). (Or simply follow the helpful “Kananaskis Country” signs throughout Canmore.) See map of Canmore.

Remarks:
Ennis cleaned the coffeepot in the river as he watched Jack ascend this stunning mountain. The sheep came from a computer, but the mountain is undeniably the real thing.

This is the western summit of Mount Inflexible. A sign at the Sawmill Parking Area shows a network of trails which traverse the base of the mountain and its neighbors. See:
