happypc

Hiking/Scrambling Season is coming, 现在是early season, 大部分trail路况泥泞, high elevation的地方有较深积雪,现在还不可行, 所以只挑选出下面几条trails

Plain of Six Glaciers非常好, 壮观开阔, 5.3 km one way, elevation gain 365 m, 现在的路况是Good / Fair应该很不错了, 路上偶尔会有泥泞

Lake Agnes(No33)也在Lake Louise旁边, 也很不错, 到达Lake Agnes湖边有tee house可以停下来休息, 很popular景色有峰回路转的感觉, trail维护得好, 3.4 km one way, elevation gain 385 m, 现在的路况也是Good / Fair, 路上偶尔会有泥泞

Castle Lookout(No 22)在1A公路上, 是看城堡山的最佳观点之一, 最难得的是这是一条early season trail, 五月份就可以登攀了,3.7 km one way, elevation gain 520 m, 现在的路况是Good

Johnson Lake(No 5)在Lake Minnewanka 附近, 3 km loop, no elevation gain, 现在的路况是Good, 这条trail很恬静秀丽, 是我最喜欢的half day hiking之一

Tunnel Mountain(No 6), 2.3 km one way, elevation gain 260 m; Bow River / Hoodoos(No 7), 5.1 km one way, elevation loss and gain about 60 m. 这两条trail都在Banff town附近, 都很popular, 景色应该不错, 现在的路况都是Good, 不用担心

Johnston Canyon / Ink Pots(No 17)现在的路况是Good / Fair，带小孩老人走的时候要小心；

另外，非常popular的硫磺山现在还比较泥泞，相对坡度比较陡更增加了难度，不建议hike

在通往Canmore的一号路旁边约80公里处, 有一个不为人所知的 Bow Valley Provincial Park, 园内有近十条hiking trails, 如Elk Flats, Many Springs Trail, Bow River Trail, Moraine Trail等等, 短则1-2公里, 长不过5-6公里, 有rolling hills(elevation gain<100m), 也有环湖小径, 还有一段沿着bow river的漂亮trail.

今年三月我们走过这里的大部分trails, 当时这里的trail上已经很少积雪, 现在肯定更没有问题. 因为距离Calgary很近, 这儿很适合early season时带着老人孩子来踏青, 可以视体力情况选择一条或者多条trail; 这儿沿bow river还有很多camping ground和picnic table, 很方便随时小憩, 三月份我们在Bow river上还看到了成群的白天鹅与goose, 这里也是拍照著名的Mt Yamnuska的好地方.

下面是前往该公园的路线(图), 来到公园的visitor centre, 可以免费索取这里更详细的trail路线图
Drive west out of Calgary towards Canmore. Just past the turnoff to highway 40, there is the turnoff to highway 1X, 80 kms from Calgary. Take the turnoff and almost immediately turn left into the park. Follow the signs to the Visiter Centre and then proceed past the visitor centre to the parking area at Middle Lake.

在Bragg Creek Provincial park也有许多hiking trails, 可以看看这里Elbow Valley & West Bragg Creek Trails in Kananaskis
http://www.braggcreek.ca/kananaskis/trails.htm

最著名的是Elbow Falls loop trail, 大概2公里的loop, elevation gain几十米, 夏天是BBQ的圣地, 需要一大早赶去, 否则找不到parking lot
