This is the real-world VFR route flightplan from Calgary Springbank (CYBW) to Fairmont Hot Springs (CYCZ)
I have also included the reverse route.
It is simply one of the most beautiful flights in the Canadian Rockies.
You will see:- Bow River- Canmore- Banff- Mt. Rundle- Lake Minnewanka- Castle Mountain- Vermilion River- Kootenay River- Columbia River- if you are at least 8500' you will get a few views of Mt. Assiniboine
Recommended minimum enroute altitude 8500' going west, 9500 going east.
Calgary Springbank airport elev. 3940' Fairmont Hot Springs airport elev. 2661'
Flight time in a Cessna 172 1 hour 25 minutes.
