The result of a fun afternoon hike in Kananaskis my hubby and I did back in April.  The peak in the foreground is Mt. Baldy, overlooking the amazing blue water of Barrier Lake. This is a great hike for beginners or parents with older kids (or experienced hikers who want to blaze through in a couple of hours or less). The only significant elevation change occurs shortly after you’ve hit the first lookout. While we encountered only three cyclists at this early date, Prairie View is apparently a popular mountain biking trek, so everyone has to share the trail during the peak season.

      It was the perfect day for a hike – can’t believe it was that warm in April. And no snow on the trail – unheard of!

      It is a breathtaking scene – we just sat there for the longest while, taking it in. 🙂

      A huge reward for a relatively short hike – it was such a great afternoon.

    One of my favourite trails. I like that you can make it short by going back the same way it longer by going down the other side and by the lake.

I’m delighted to hear from you – thanks so much for your comments!
