Stop at: 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.
