Itinerary
Prairie View Trail

Winding through forest before breaking out onto a rocky ridge, this trail offers a spectacular bird's-eye view of the turquoise Barrier Lake below and mountains in every direction. Activity snapshot: Distance: 10km – 12km Elevation Gain: 550m Duration: 4hrs – 5hrs
Peter Lougheed Provincial Park
Choose 2 from 3: OPTION 2 – Lake Hike: A trek to, or along the shores of, one of Kananaskis's many pristine lakes. Framed by the region's signature limestone peaks and sub-alpine forest, this option focuses on glacial basin views – the ideal way to experience K-Country’s wilderness at a steady, observant pace. Lake destinations include Chester Lake, Rummel Lake, and Upper/Lower Kananaskis Lakes, among others. Activity snapshot: Distance: 4.5km – 16km Elevation Gain: 50m – 450m Duration: 2hrs – 5hrs
Troll Falls

Activity snapshot: Distance: 4.5km – 6km Elevation Gain: 50m – 230m Duration: 1.5hrs – 2hrs
The day's adventure takes us onto Highway 40, south towards Highwood Pass – the highest paved road in Canada at 2,206m. Single lane in each direction and much quieter than the main highway to Banff, the drive along the route is world-class – offering panoramic mountain views on all sides and frequent wildlife sightings.
