Itinerary:

Starting from the Station Flats recreation area we will hike the Sulphur Springs trail returning along the Elbow Valley trail to make a loop. Lots of 'ripples' along the way. Conditions will probably be a mix of dry, snow/ice and mud. Expect 4 1/2 to 5 hours on trail including breaks. A Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required for this hike - they were out checking in the area last week!

Required Items to Bring:
Microspikes - it's that time of year where the trails can be icy rather than packed snow.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
All you need for a full day's hike
