Ice Cave – Bragg Creek Kananaskis – Hiking With Kids
Moose Mountian Ice Cave, INGs Mine Ice Cave, Canyon Creek Ice Cave, Bragg Creek Ice Cave, Kananaskis – THE ICE CAVE – from what I can tell it’s all the same place. But I’ve been known to be wrong. The Ice Cave is located on Hwy 66 just past Bragg Creek. You can park at ING’s mine day-use area in Kananaskis Country, Alberta, Canada. Access to the Ice caves was officially closed in the early 2000s due to...
Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area – Hiking With Kids
Oh! The good ol’ Canadian Prairie – If your dog runs away you can watch it go for three days before it’s actually lost and the Mosquitoes are so big that they might as well be the provincial bird. Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Mantiboa with its capital city often referred to as Winterpeg. Not much to look forward to right? Maybe that might be the case for the outer flatlands, but I have a hard time lumping Alberta in...

Rainy Creek Summit – Hiking With Kids – Kananaskis
Someone stole my car! Which is unlikely considering it has the ultimate anti-theft device installed – the stick shift. But no joke my car was stolen in beautiful Kananaskis country – at least that’s what I thought. Let me explain: The Rainy Creek summit trailhead is located just off Hwy 66, around two kilometers before the little elbow parking lot, the starting point for Nihahi Creek and Nihahi Ridge. Rainy Creek is...

Nihahi Creek Trail – Hiking Kananaskis
Nihahi, Nahahi, Nahali, Tahini or whatever you want to call it (I lost the bet by the way), is one of the most interesting hikes in Kananaskis. This is one that you will remember for sure. This is a 13.2K out and back hike but according to my GPS it was 14.66 but we included many side detours, ridge hikes and we rarely hiked in a straight line. Our total hike time with 2 kids aged 4 & 7 was 5 housr and 35 minutes with an elevation...
