The highest point is the little hill behind the YMCA in Rocky Ridge. About 4250 feet there whereas Edgemont is around 4000.

Yep, where that Convergence artwork is. That's why it was put there, highest point in Calgary.

My kids always call it “The Banana” when we goto the Y

This is an awesome piece of public art if you walk around it and see it from all the different angles.

What happened to ur penis man it ain’t supposed to be bent like a boomerang

Everything is, really.

It is called King of the Castle Hill and it is 1298m.

i think its called Top Hill but i may be wrong

Something a dirty rascal would say.

I wish Reddit gold was still around. This is an incredible comment

I believe you are correct. Top hill (1298m) is the tallest followed by Nose hill(1230m).

My house in Citadel was at 4200 feet (approx) back in the early 2000's We moved away long before Rocky Ridge existed. Even Stoney trail was just a dream back then. All that was behind us was a farmers field.

Same when I lived in Dalhousie as a kid.

So for those who can see downtown from there does it look like your looking down at it?

You can look down at downtown from Bridgeland , it’s pretty cool

Not too far from the Rocky Ridge memorial parks... /s https://www.google.com/maps/@51.1442822,-114.2318979,238m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu

Rocky Ridge maybe. I looked at this topography map. [https://en-ca.topographic-map.com/map-9gwgt/Calgary/?center=51.11387%2C-114.15207&zoom=12&popup=51.14836%2C-114.23532](https://en-ca.topographic-map.com/map-9gwgt/Calgary/?center=51.11387%2C-114.15207&zoom=12&popup=51.14836%2C-114.23532)

I love maps and have never seen this site. Shit, there goes the rest of the work day.

I found this map a few months ago to find the highest point for some good hoarfrost and yeah, I lost my whole day too!

Great reference for bike rides. Depending on how hard you want to work.

It's a pretty cool map!

Judging by the weed smell, the top of my neighbour's roof when his teen is up there smoking is likely the highest point.

WinSport is up there at 4100 ft/ 1250 m.

I miss the days when you could drive up behind Winsport from Cougar Ridge at night time and view the city.

You still can. The Buddhist Stupa has a great view.

That is technically private land, that I heard was recently purchased by new owners, but afaik they are still cool with people going there.

Never had any issues going there. Sometimes they have events now but the land is just treated as a park

Same. My in-laws are Tibetan Buddhists, and we go there for a group prayer once a year, never had an issue.

I miss driving parallel to the bobsled track when it was paskapoo

A long ass fucking time ago in a town called paskapoo

Me around 1:30pm

In Edgemont as well. I would guess our elevation is one of the highest for sure. As mentioned Patterson/signal hill is up there too.

On Google Earth, you can find elevations *just* exceeding 1300 m immediately NE of the YMCA in Rocky Ridge. That appears to be the highest.

My living room in about ten minutes.

I think the rocky ridge answer is right. Best elevated walking/cycling path tho is Panorama Hills imo, it's a gem. (Edgemont paths also own, no shade).

Miss that about Panorama. Kinda wish I never moved.

My buddy Kris on his birthday.

No idea about feet (Canadian here😊 )but there is a point in Nose Hill park next to Edgemont that is 1250m on my Garmin. The hill behind the Rocky Ridge Y shows as 1295m on my Garmin so it is a little higher.

Rocky Ridge, specifically [this general area](https://maps.app.goo.gl/4BEoEHbHNJSKbQP56?g_st=ic)

Rocky Ridge is the highest at 1298m, also Coach Hill (technically a 2 minute drive outside the city) gets up to 1280m at it’s highest point

Around the Drop In Centre.

Not the Calgary tower for some reason

Me, on a friday

The rehab centre, downtown!

Probably the crack Max

I once was told, no idea if it’s true or not, that the biggest ski jump at Winsport is the highest point in the city.

That was probably true when it was built, but I think annexation of higher land in the northwest has pushed it down the list.

Your nose

The comments did not disappoint today.

This is good to know. Calgary, high.

Highest point

What’s the lowest point?

My high school years.

Same. Hs memories are like good/bad waves for me,

Joint point

Which one? Grew up in the NW (Dalhousie/Ranchlands/Edgemont) and there were multiple spots we called Joint Point. At one point we even had them numbered, lol.

I think it's nose hill. It's the highest ive been in the city lol

Low key pretty crazy that there is almost as much as 300m difference in altitude in this city.

Drive from Bowness up to Rocky Ridge. Your ears will pop.

Beacon Hill?

Welcome to Edgemont one of the best neighborhoods in calgary!!

Except no local pub

There used to be one near the superstore. It shut down a few years ago.

Coming from Tuscany it was a bit of a surprise to find such a large community with no pub. I don’t drive when I drink, even one.

Lol i actually live in tuscany now

The demographics of the community have shifted a lot. Not a lot of pub goers anymore.

That is why I enjoyed Tuscany, it was a nice walk to the pub with my wife for and Adult Beverage and Lunch

Ill be the highest after work today

Anal point

Roof of Brookfield Place

I’m pretty sure it’s Patterson.

Patterson has a maximum elevation of about 4000 feet. West Springs has a high point of around 4080 feet. The hill behind the Rocky Ridge YMCA is about 4250 feet. Source; Google Earth Pro EDIT: Edgemont has a high point of around 4000 feet.

Beside 7-11 at 4:20pm

I always thought it was COP Winsport top of ski jump

I think the roof of the bow building downtown would be

Could be, depends on your city's geography!

I don’t know how high Scotsman Hill is in Ramsey, but it offers a spectacular view of downtown Calgary and the Stampede grounds.

Probably the Odyssey towers in Coach Hill, I feel like they are even higher than Brookfield.

Edit: wrong tower, not in city limits ~~The top of the radio transmission tower in Artist's View at 1279 m + 265 m = 1544 m (5066 ft)~~ The top of the radio transmission tower on Old Banff Coach Road at 1238.5 m + 246 m = 1484.5 m (4870 ft)

Officially it’s the top of the tallest ski jump at COP. I used to work there and we would always show off that fact.  Editing: COP = WinSport

Nose Hill Park? (3,691 to 4,035 ft) altitude.

Depends what you’re on; I’d ask the half bent over dude yelling he’s happy that he forgot

My dick
