Easy
Bull Creek Hills
A nice 14km hike on a warm spring day! Lots of up then lots of down. Snow in areas but relatively dry. Did this April 2, 2021. The full loop was almost in sight but we did a detour and came back almost the same way we went up.
Rocky Ridge
First hike of 2021! This short out and back was done March 13, 2021. After a couple weeks of above 0, we decided to try a hike instead of a snowshoe. Trail was hard packed snow but was melted just enough that it wasn’t ice. Windy at the top of the knoll where we turned.
Bull Creek Hills
I’m a bit late posting this. We did this hike April 28, 2019 (Curtis and I). We weren’t sure on conditions so we just winged it for location. It’s our second official hike of the season so we wanted something relatively easy. We couldn’t really find any trails; it seemed like they came and went…
Murray Creek Snowshoe
We did this snowshoe on Saturday January 26, 2019. Present company was Curtis and myself. This was the first time we’ve been out snowshoeing for almost 2 years.

Hailstone Butte
We did this hike Saturday May 26, 2018. Present company was Sheldon, Curtis and I. We were originally going to do Pasque Mountain but we couldn’t cross the creek; it was too fast and too cold to risk it. Sentinel mountain is along the same road, just further down (not to be confused by the…
Boom Lake
It’s a nice, short hike if you are in Banff or Lake Louise and looking for something to do. It wasn’t crowded the day we went out, but I have driven past when there are cars parked along the highway – it can get busy.
Highline Trail
We did this hike Friday, July 7, 2017. Present company was Curtis and I. We were camped at Fish Creek Campground in Glacier National Park for the week and decided to do the Highline Trail. It was closed still from the winter up until Thursday. We had always wanted to do it because it affords…
Little Elbow Exploratory
We did this hike Saturday May 20, 2017. Present company was Curtis, Katy and myself. This was our first hike of the season (finally!) so we wanted to start off easy. Our original plan was to do Ribbon Falls but because of fresh snow, we had to choose something a bit further East. I looked…
