How to Get There: | |||||||
Event Directions: | Take Hwy 1 west out of town. Go south on Hwy 40 for approx 56km. Turn right onto Kananaskis Lakes Trail just before the winter gate. Turn north onto the Smith-Dorrien Trail (gravel road) and go about 20-30km. Park at the Chester Lake trail head (past Sawmill). Note that this event requires driving several kilometers up the Smith- Dorrien Road, which is a gravel road, and can be icy/treacherous, especially if your vehicle is not appropriate for winter conditions, or if you are not an experienced winter driver. Please indicate that you're willing to drive ONLY if you and your vehicle are appropriate for some more difficult winter conditions than regular highway driving. | ||||||
