Calgary woman died on a mountain south of Canmore

Aug 20, 2018 | 5:53 AM

RCMP say a Calgary woman who died on a mountain just south of Canmore slipped and fell while descending a short scramble section.

Police say the woman’s friends, as well as some other hikers tried to help her, but she died at the scene.

They say visibility in the area was very poor at the time due to heavy smoke from wildfires raging in British Columbia.

The woman’s identity is not being released.
