A Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park your vehicle in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley.
Ice Safety: Alberta Parks does not monitor ice conditions; learn how to assess them for yourself.

This trail is a strenuous climb from either end, with great views and flower-filler meadows at the top. The trailhead is at the end of Highway #66. It can also be accessed from Three-trail Pass.
