Itinerary:

A fairly strenuous climb to the viewpoint at the top of Cox Hill returning the same way. The hill's most recent claim to fame is that it is the highest point on the Trans Canada trail. Trail may be muddy in places. There might still be some snow in the trees as we get closer to the ridge. Hopefully the wildflowers will be at their peak on the ridge top. Expect anywhere between 5 and 6 hours on the trail including lunch. A car pool may be arranged depending on sign ups.

Required Items to Bring:
Kananaskis Country recreation pass. Everything that you need for a full day on the trail. A smile :-)

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:
