Snow-shoeing, March 2001


We have had quite a bit of new snow. On Saturday Mr. T. went snow-shoeing with some people in Kananaskis at Rawson Lake . It was a warm sunny day there, (Calgary was cloudy with flurries at minus 15) Mr. T. says it was a real work – out as they climbed a mountain, these people have done it before, but it was he’s first time. He says I wouldn’t have made it, he thinks they did about 14 k’s. Even he was sore. He says it was beautiful, he took some lovely photos.

"Rawson Lake is a beautiful green lake sitting below the sheer cliffs of Mt. Sarrail in Kananaskis Country. The trail starts at the upper Kananaskis Lake parking area and leads off west along the lakeshore. At about 1km (past Sarrail Falls), turn left up the slope. The trail is fairly steep, but only for about 1.5km.
Elevation Gain: 305 m (1,000 ft)."
