Remus East Ridge is an out-and-back trail, 1.2 miles each way (2.5 miles round trip) in Alberta, Canada, inside Elbow-Sheep Wildland Provincial Park. It runs between about 5,600 ft and 7,610 ft above sea level, with roughly 2,060 ft of climbing one way. It is a mountain path with steeper and uneven sections, so wear proper hiking shoes. Most of the way is dirt. The nearest town is Fortress Junction, about 10 miles east of the trailhead. Peaks within about 3 miles include Mount Glasgow North, Garriochmill Peak and Mount Remus. For camping, Little Elbow Campground and Romulus are within about 6 miles. Distances, elevations and the route shape here come from OpenStreetMap and the Copernicus 90 m elevation model. Trails, access rules and conditions change, so check locally before you go.
