Know Before You Go:

• A must-do hike in the Kananaskis area - the views are unparalleled.

• You’ll be treated to beautiful views almost the entire way - the trail is not always easy to follow so having an offline map is helpful.

• This is highly active bear country so travel in larger groups, carry bear spray and bear bells, play music on the trail if you aren't a super talkative hiker - anything to let them know where you are at all times. This will help you avoid surprise encounters.

• Once you reach the ridge line at the lake the trail becomes significantly narrower with steep drops, take your time on this portion and enjoy the views.

• Slight scrambling is required in a handful of spots but there is nothing technical about this trail until you reach the last few hundred feet to the true peak - complete this portion at your own risk.

• Bring layers and rain gear - it is not uncommon for afternoon squalls to blow through quickly and the trail here is very exposed.

• Footwear with good traction is a must for this trail.

• There is no camping or dogs allowed here.

• No trashcans to be found anywhere so please pack out everything you bring. Trash attracts wildlife and makes the area unsafe for future visitors.
