Upon moving to a new apartment with a mountain view (especially to the southwest), I had to take it upon myself to find out what all the peaks were. I have been meaning to do it for a while, having also ascended a number of them. I live 15 floors up in a high-rise in the southeast corner of downtown Calgary, so I don't see any mountains north of Big Sister.

Distances from my location to major landmarks:

Prairie Mountain - 55km
Moose Mountain - 55.5km
Mount Glasgow - 68.5km
Fisher Peak - 72km
Highwood Peak - 75km
Mount Rae - 79km
Closest BC Border - 84km
Mount Lougheed - 84.5km
Mount Livingstone - 103km

Very cool to know that I can barely make out the furthest mountain over 100km away, and that major (3000m+) front range peaks are only 70-80km away from downtown Calgary!

The panoramic shots have been broken into 3 segments, and will be listed north to south.

The northern segment runs from Big Sister in the north, to just north of the Banded Group (where Mounts Burney and Blane are seen through the gap of the Little Elbow river valley):

The middle segment runs from the Banded Group in the north, to Highwood Peak in the south:

The southern segment runs from Lineham Ridge and Junction Mountain in the north to Mount Livingstone in the south:

Summit elevations were mined from the Gaia GPS app. Google Earth, Google Satellite, various photographs, as well as the aforementioned app with topographical maps were used to determine the mountains. Any feedback welcome - especially for additional mountains I may have missed! But this should cover the main peaks between about 194 degrees (Mount Livingstone) and 268 degrees true (Big Sister) relative to my location downtown.
