Best Dog Friendly Hikes Kananaskis
These are all walks that we have done and while we know for sure that nothing on our list is more difficult, some of these walks are not easy, so do your research and know your limits with your dog.
Opal Ridge South Hike In Kananaskis
The Tent Ridge Track is considered a moderate hike by many Canadian hikers and guidebooks, but many hikers find it challenging. Ah…yes, we agree! If you start making sure you’re going east to west on the trail, you’ll see a rain lake along the trail.
The uphill and downhills will save you energy, the running sections are short and very light, don’t hesitate, but be prepared to show off a little. When you get to the top of the mountain, you will walk 3-4 km, which makes the trip even more spectacular, with spectacular views of the Canadian Rockies in all their glory from all sides.
Climbing is good for you and your dog. It’s a long hike that’s in a U shape, so you can see every part of the mountains along the way. There are a lot of chipmunks, so get your dog on the team. On the way down, you can see the lake in the distance. Make sure you download all the features of AllTrails so you can easily e.Â

How To Hike Tent Ridge Trail In Kananaskis Country
The Prairie View Trail, often referred to as the Obes Fire Scout Trail, climbs through old growth forest to a view overlooking Obes Lake. This is the perfect sunrise because you can quickly reach the top view. You can either go straight and go down the same way, or continue back to what is called the Jewel Pass.Â
From the lookout, visitors can climb the northern side of the mountain to view the fire pit and Arch Valley, then return the way you came back. He is three hours away.
Or you can go down to the Juell Pass, which is not very visible from the top, but becomes more visible when you reach the forest. And in this way you go back behind the mountain, around the other side, at the end of the barrier of the lake and back to the west of the lake.Â
Either way it’s done, if you take the time to cross the Jewel. Go down in the same way if they are premature.Â
Sarrail Ridge Hiking Guide
One of the most popular hikes is the east end of the Rundle Hike near Canmore. It’s a feat that is rewarded with stunning views of Spray Valley and Ha Ling Peak. Because of the proximity and convenience of the city, Canmore sees a lot of people. It’s a beautiful hike that offers visitors amazing views of Canmore, the Valley and the Ha Ling Peak.
Start this climb near the dirt road and head towards East Rundle. It’s a slippery slope. When we were going up the mountain, there was still snow on the top, and I did not know how to turn the boat to the top, and we did not reach the top.Â
This way we stay at the top of the trail and you have a great view of Canmore, Valley and Spray Valley. The first 3/4 of the trail is easy to walk and difficult. Again, it was difficult to leave with the dog or walk, so we decided to go back with our dogs.
Hiking enthusiasts will love the added challenge that the steep Kings Creek Ridge promises. The first trip to the conference is an exercise and an outdoor escape! When the plain goes away from the fir-hugging roads, the open meadow, the rocky valley and the three peaks that feel bigger, the first snow falls in a different light.
How To Hike Sarrail Ridge Via Rawson Lake In Kananaskis
All the effort is spent on the first 2/3 of the journey, but the mountain pass is worth it. You get a great view of the Kananaskis Valley, Upper and Lower Kananaskis Lakes, and Kings Creek Valley. The edge of the mountain is 2 km and leads to an amazing view. You can go up the hill to Kings Creek or go back the way we came.
Kings Creek Ridge is best hiked from June to October when the snow is minimal enough to make vertical climbing safe. Walking with your dog can be difficult for the first 2/3 of the hike, but the route is not too difficult and is a pleasant route with the dog and amazing photo views.

Not a difficult, difficult hike with slopes to Elbow Lake. Once you pass Chamber Lake, it’s an easy hike up the canyon with spectacular views on both sides. You will see a sign that directs you to Edwards Falls.
The climb to the waterfall is difficult, be careful as it is slippery and wet. Don’t forget to take pictures of the falls when you go down.
