It takes in the upper Smith-Dorian-Spray Trail as well as the dense network of trails in the Kananaskis Lakes area accessed via Highway 40 .

Kananaskis Lakes was the first map we published. We’ve published a post so you can see the evolution of this map since 1991 here.
The Kananaskis Lakes Map covers Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, located off Highway 40 south of the Kananaskis Valley. The northern extent of the map is Opal Day Use area on Highway 40 and Engadine Lodge on the Smith-Dorrien/Spray Trail. The southern portion of the map covers Elk Lakes Provincial Park, in British Columbia.
Popular hiking trails on the Kananaskis Lakes Map include Elbow Lake, Chester Lake, Burstall Pass, Headwall Lakes, Kananaskis Lookout, Upper Kananaskis Lake Circuit, Rawson Lake, Elk Lakes, and Ptarmigan Cirque. For adventurous hikers, the remote southern reaches of Banff National Park near Leman Lake are included, as is the trail over Elk Pass to Elk Lakes Provincial Park.
A 1:25,000-scale inset map on the back highlights the Kananaskis Lakes area, including extra detail of hiking trails and campgrounds.

We appreciate that the lands known today as Canada are home to the enduring presence of all First Nations and Métis people, and the Inuit and we acknowledge the past, present, and future generations of these Nations who continue to lead us in stewarding this land, as well as honour their knowledge and cultural ties to this place. The Alpine Club of Canada’s head office is located in the traditional lands of Treaty 7, which is comprised of the Stoney Nakoda Nations of Wesley, Chiniki, and Bearspaw; three Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy: the Piikani, Kainai, and Siksika; the Mountain Cree; and the Tsuu T’ina of the Dene people. This territory is also shared with the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. Before the signing of Treaty 7, and prior to the establishment of provincial boundaries, this region was also used by the Ktunaxa and the Maskwacis people.
