24h in Kananaskis

Banff gets all the attention… but if you’re craving something quieter and just as beautiful, head to Kananaskis. 🏔️✨

This lesser-known corner of the Rockies is packed with stunning trails, peaceful drives, and mountain views you don’t have to share with busloads of tourists.

Here’s how to spend 24 hours in Kananaskis:

• Stay in a cozy mountain cabin at Skyridge Glamping

• Grab coffee in Canmore

• Hike to the unreal turquoise waters of Grassi Lake

• Drive the wild and winding Smith-Dorrien Trail

• Chase waterfalls at Troll Falls

• Stop at Mt. Lorette Pond for a quiet moment by the water

💾 Save this itinerary if you’re planning an Alberta road trip and tag someone you’d love to bring along.

These two friends were paddling when they spotted a wild foal trapped in a river, barely able to keep his head above water. 🐴 They jumped into action, and now the little guy has a second chance at life. 💜 📸 Anna Gleig / Ava Haddad / CBC #foal #horses #rescue #goodnews #animalrescu
