Kananaskis Lakes Trail Map & Guide - Waterproof. This map covers what some say is the most scenic terrain in all of
Kananaskis Country - the upper Smith-Dorrien-Spray Trail south of Mt.
Shark, Peter Lougheed Provincial Park including the network of trails in
the Kananaskis Lakes area, and the northern part of Elk Lakes
Provincial Park.
Seven snowshoe trails have been added to this new edition,
including those at Chester Lake, Hogarth Lakes, Lower Lake, Penstock,
Elkwood, Sawmill and Wintour, a 5-km stretch starting at the winter gate
on Highway 40. And for those of you who have been asking, the relief
shading is back and the map is printed on waterproof material.
Popular day hikes covered on this map include Elbow Lake,
Chester Lake, Burstall Pass, Headwall Lakes, Kananaskis Lookout, Upper
Kananaskis Lake Circuit, Rawson Lake, Elk Lakes and Ptarmigan Cirque
where more than 80 species of wildflowers have been identified by
budding botanists.
On the back of the map are trail descriptions and photos of 16
recommended day hikes, three overnight trips and nine classic mountain
bike rides, as well as six recommended trails for novice and
intermediate snowshoers and two areas recommended for cross-country
skiing. Also on the back is a 1:25,000 scale inset map of the immediate
Kananaskis Lakes area, as well as contact information for visitor
centers, campgrounds, hotels and lodges.
