Kananaskis Country

Alberta Parks
A Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required to park your vehicle in Kananaskis and the Bow Valley.

The trail meanders through aspen and mixed woods up the escarpment above the Elbow River. Aptly named, this trail has great views of the river canyon. It is also a good wildflower trail. The trail is accessed from the west end of the Paddy's Flat Interpretive Trail in Paddy's Flat Campground.
