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.
This was another first time hike for most of us and it offered phenomenal views, some fun scrambling and nobody else on the trail.
South Mist Hills is a hidden larch tree gem as there was virtually nobody on the trail while the Highwood Pass had hundreds of vehicles.
Three Sisters Pass is a short but challenging climb to a beautiful summit flanked by Mount Lawrence Grassi to the west and the Three Sisters to the east.
Centennial Ridge is a long and strenuous hike, which we fell short of the summit due to time constraints as we would need 6ish hours to complete it.
Grassi Knob has become a favorite due to its proximity to Canmore, amazing views at the summit, and killer cardio workout
Mount Lady Macdonald had been closed for several years due to flood mitigation work on Cougar Creek so we forgot how much of a grind it was to get to the former heli-pad.
