IKE DETAILS
The hike will be on Saturday, September 17, 2022. There is no cost to register for the hike. We still ask that you register to know who is joining the group. The hike will be at the Pocaterra Tarn on Highwood Pass in Kananaskis. From the Owl Group Campground we will leave together at 8:30 am driving to Highwood Pass Day Use parking lot also known as Pocaterra Ridge Parking Lot (Kananaskis Train Hwy. 40). From there at 9:15 am we will start our hiking adventure to enjoy the scenery and the view of the larch trees that, despite looking as evergreen trees, they change their color in the fall.
This hike is estimated to be 4.2 km there and back.
Height gain 204 m
High point 2235 m
Difficulty: Fairly good trail with moderate grades. The longest steepest uphills are on the return. Occasionally mud and loose rocks. Minor creek crossings.
NOTE: A Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required. This can be purchased from the Alberta Parks site, the link can be found at the bottom of this page.
