I found myself making yet another trip to Kananaskis Country in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta. There are mounds of snow and a snowshoe trail is maintained by the provincial park. It was a perfect day for the getaway. The weather was four degrees Celsius and there was hardly a cloud in the sky.

The drive from Calgary to the Sawmill Trail Head took about 1.5 hours when accessed from the Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. The trail itself is a loop and can be considered easy to moderate. When accessing the loop at the trail head, going clockwise around the loop is much easier than counter-clockwise because the elevation gain clockwise is gradual whereas counter-clockwise the elevation is gained in a very short distance. The hike itself takes about 2 hours to complete
