Popular Day Hikes: Kananaskis Country - Revised & Updated: Kananaskis Country - Revised & Updated

By Gillean Daffern

Day-hiking guide to Canmore, Bow Valley, Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, Highwood, Elbow and other major areas of Kananaskis Country.

Popular Day Hikes: Kananaskis Country brings together a varied collection of outings within easy reach of Calgary and communities on the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies. Routes range from shorter walks to ridge hikes and outings with sections of easy scrambling, giving readers choices across different abilities and time commitments.

Destinations include Ha Ling Peak, Barrier Lake Lookout, Ribbon Falls, Upper Kananaskis Lake, Ptarmigan Cirque, Burstall Pass, Picklejar Lakes, Mount Burke, Volcano Ridge Loop and Nihahi Ridge. Each hike includes trailhead directions, colour maps and photographs, seasonal information, round-trip distance, trail commentary and a difficulty rating.

The guide is designed for straightforward day-trip planning rather than comprehensive backcountry coverage. It is especially useful to Calgary-area hikers, visitors to Kananaskis and readers looking for accessible introductions to well-known Alberta mountain trails.
