Yates Mountain
Yates Mountain is also known at the Barrier Lake Fire Lookout. It is generally a very busy trail as it's one of the closest mountain trails from Calgary.

Commonwealth Creek Snowshoe
Commonwealth is always a nice relatively easy jaunt although my snowshoes malfunctioned so the walk in the loose snow was quite a workout.

Buller Pass Hike
Buller Pass is a nice winter hike where we typically just get to the base of Buller Mountain due to the snow depth. There was nobody else on the trail.

Burstall Pass Hike
Burstall Pass is not an overly taxing hike but on this day a few cm's of snow, and more in some places, made it like walking on a beach for three and a half hours.

Porcupine Ridge Hike
Porcupine Ridge presents several challenges with the creek crossing, steep climb out of the valley, and the scrambling at the top but has great views.

Mount Burns East Peak Hike
This was another first time hike for most of us and it offered phenomenal views, some fun scrambling and nobody else on the trail.

South Mist Hills Hike
South Mist Hills is a hidden larch tree gem as there was virtually nobody on the trail while the Highwood Pass had hundreds of vehicles.

Sparrowhawk Tarns Hike
Sparrowhawk Tarns is a great choice during the larch season as there is unlimited parking along the road and we only ran into ten other hikers.

Wind Ridge Hike
Wind Ridge is a fun hike as it starts out flat, becomes gradual and then very steep to the summit and ridge with panoramic 360 degree views of the Bow Valley.

Sunshine Meadows Hike
I've skied at Sunshine Village for nearly 50 years but never explored this amazing trail network just off the backside of the Standish Chair and it was beautiful.
