Kananaskis Country

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

This trail switchbacks up to the shoulder of Nihahi Ridge. It then takes a quick dive across the open saddle and then straight up the ridge edge. There are great views of east down the Elbow River Valley and west up the Little Elbow River Valley. The trailhead is on Little Elbow Trail, 0.5 km west of Little Elbow Campground.
