Mount Baldy, Elbow Sheep Wildland Provincial Park

Just an hour's drive from Calgary, you can experience the breathtaking beauty of Barrier Lake from Mount Baldy Peak. Although the scrambling section requires some effort, it is manageable for the average hiker to reach the summit. Once you reach the top, you will be left in awe of the stunning view of the entire lake and the surrounding mountains. Mount Baldy Peak, located near Kananaskis Improvement, Alberta, Canada, offers a 6-Km trail that takes you to this magnificent sight. The trail is rated as difficult, but it is definitely worth it for the incredible panorama. Unfortunately, I was unable to complete the traverse portion of the climb due to snowy conditions, so it is advisable to plan your visit between mid-July and the end of September for the best weather conditions.
