Itinerary: | |||||||
Distance:10 km return to Barrier Lake
lookout Elevation gain: 500 metres to Barrier Lake lookout. Note: Microspikes are required and waterproof hiking footwear. This is a Winter hike. Snowshoes are not likely required but bring along if you have them just in case.
A popular trail in the Kananaskis area with
excellent views. We will
cross Barrier Dam and climb from that point on.
The grade is persistent
and we climb using a series of switchbacks.
With nearly continuous
climbing through the trees, we will reach the
ridge. The trail narrows
and becomes steeper in the last 200m before the
cliff top. The cliff top itself is a great
place to take in the views and snap
photographs.
