A snowshoe up McLean Hill from Hwy. 549. We had been up Ridge trail many times before, but always as a spring tune-up. This would be our first time on snow and we guessed that the motor bike trail would translate well into a snowshoe trail. It did. The hills are manageable (not a novice trail, though) and the pine forest retains the snow well. Amazingly, the snow was more like mid-winter snow, and very often we were breaking trail through 14 inches of it.
Snowshoe Trails
Warspite Lake is a great short snowshoe trip (just over 4 km return to the lake) in warm spring conditions or for a quick in and out trip on a short, cold day in December or January. There is no avalanche danger if you don’t venture beyond the lake.
A description of North Baldy trails on snowshoe, specifically Old Mill Road and the Kananaskis Integrated Forestry Interpretive trail which enables you to make a loop. Describes snow conditions in mid March .
A brief description of Kananaskis Village snowshoe trail. There is the option of continuing on Terrace trail. An update on the grocery and deli at the Village Centre.
Snowshoeing two interpretive trails off Hwy. 68 in the Jumpingpound area of Kananaskis Country. Moose Creek Loop and Pine Woods Loop can be amalgamated to make a good half-day trip.
