Itinerary:

This is the clockwise loop.
This is a loop hike through the woods in Kananaskis, about 2:30 walking time, plus lunch. We will stay at the lower elevations, not approaching either pass.
If you want a great view in the same area, please consider the June 13 hike to Baldy Pass to Ridge.
We will follow the Lusk Pass trail for 4km from the the Lusk Creek parking area, stop for lunch somewhere along a cutoff to switch trails, and walk back down on the Baldy Pass trail.
If we hit the 8 person Covid maximum, please sign up for Waitlist if you are interested. I will try to find someone to lead a third version of the hike if there is sufficient interest.
The route in KML format (Google Earth) can be found at Lusk-Baldy Loop KML. If you need help converting to GPX or other format, contact me.
