We've done Chester Lake numerous times, but it never gets old with its amazing views from the upper valley and at the Elephant Rocks espescially on another glorious sunny day.
Evan Thomas is a relatively leisurely stroll other than the tricky entry into the canyon and on this day there were 150ish other people out enjoying the great outdoors.
Ravens End, formerly known as Yam Shoulder, is a partial hike through the forest to the base of where the majestic rock features of Mount Yamnuska begin.
Commonwealth Creek is always a nice gentle and scenic outing however we did have about six inches of fresh which increased to two feet in the upper valley, so it was a great 'shoe'.
Mount Kidd Lookout is an easily accessible trail from the Kananaskis Village area that offers amazing views of the area but is a very steep grunt to the top.
Powderface Ridge trail is a relatively easy stroll through a mostly forested trail with some beautiful views of Nihanni Ridge.
This is the first time I have hiked this route despite being a favorite mountain biking grind several decades ago when I was young and fit.
Porcupine Ridge presents several challenges with the creek crossing, steep climb out of the valley, and the scrambling at the top but has great views.
This was our first time doing Hidden Lake trail and it was an easy hike with amazing views of the Kananaskis Valley on a glorious sunny day.
This was our first time doing Mt. Hoffman. Its a shorter, well maintained trail that would typically offer sweeping views of the Sheep River/Kananaskis area but we were clouded in.
