Jan 19, 2021 Thanks for all the trip reports yesterday. When I observed “Big Tex” parked at the Upper Lake, I was expecting that it was Tyrwhitt’s turn to finally have some tracksetting. The following trails were trackset last night in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park: Tyrwhitt Lookout Hydroline Elk Pass(first…
It doesn’t get any better than this. Although I was tempted to take advantage of the new tracksetting at Kananaskis Village, I decided to leave the crowds behind and head for peace and quiet in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. After reading the trip report from Tanya, where she referenced the…
