Thank you for reading the entire event description prior to signing up.
Distance : Total 8 km round trip (return to Rawson Lake) *** Note that the coordinator will contact the Peter Lougheed Centre on Friday to confirm the latest trail conditions. *** ***NOTE: Dogs must remain leashed at all times in the park. *** Let's enjoy an outing in beautiful surroundings and in great company while getting a good work out. This event is better suited to EXPERIENCED snowshoers. The pace will be relaxed. No beginners please. Trail description : We will park at the Upper Lake Day Use parking lot. From there it is a short 3.9 km hike to Rawson Lake that is nested between the Upper Kananaskis Lake and the 3,174 metre wall of Mount Sarrail. To the lake, there is a height gain of 350 metres. Once we return from Rawson Lake, we may snowshoe around part of the Upper Kananaskis Lake trail with some additional gentle elevation gain. There should be some great photo opportunities. Please only sign up if you are certain to attend. Cancellations create additional work for the volunteer co-ordinators and prevent other members from joining the event. Thank you for your consideration.
We will not be going into avalanche terrain (far side of Rawson Lake).
