Presented by John McFaul, Professional Hiking Guide and Owner of Alpenglow Nature Hikes

Kananaskis Country has an abundance of breathtaking hiking trails that offer a truly unique way to explore the natural wonders of this region. Discover, or revisit, the high alpine meadows of Plateau Mountain, swathed in beautiful highland flowers like moss campion. Explore the fragrant pine/aspen woods of Jumping Pound Creek, that seem to reverberate with the drumming of the rough grouse. Gaze upon sparkling mountain tarns ringed with golden larch like Chester Lake, and be dazzled by the sunny meadows of glacier lilies treaded by grizzly bears. Join John McFaul of Alpenglow Nature Hikes for a virtual hike through the majestic mountains and meadows of Kananaskis Country.

Registration required. Free for Friends of Fish Creek members, and $5 for non-members.
