Book the gondola online ahead of time and reserve a spot at the sky bistro for excellent food and top of the mountain views. We would love to do a group dinner here for anyone interested. If you are feeling up for it, you can hike to the top for free.
Actual date and time to be determined.
Just on the outskirts of Banff. Rod would like to book a boy's day fishing trip for whoever is interested. We like to walk around the lake to the bridge and catch lots of picturesque views. On the road to this lake, there is an old town site (lower bankhead trail), paddleboard lakes (Two Jack and Johnson Lake) or a nice hangout lake for the kids (cascade ponds)
Timberline Tours offers 2hr trail rides around the lake, or 3-4hr rides up the mountain. My new favorite way to reach a summit!!! Let Destinee know if you want to be part of this plan, or book your own adventure.
Kananaskis village has e-bike rentals and easy walking trails right around the hotel, or drive a short way to troll falls (easy hike with kids) or ribbon creek (easy to hard depending on how far up you go). A short drive away takes you to Mt Lorette Ponds. For more adventures, check out surrounding area hikes too.
Day hike to lake with views and fishing. Parking at "Upper Kananaskis Lake Day Use Area". About 1 hr 45 min drive from Calgary, or 40 min drive from Kananaskis Lodge. If you don't want to do the 3hr out and back hike up the mountain to see Rawson Lake, there is still a route around Upper Kananaskis lake and some picnic spots. Can get cold and windy around the lake.
Ask Destinee about our family connection to this wonderful spot.
