Nihahi Ridge hike/snowshoe, Kananaskis
November 11, 2022 @ 8:30 am - 3:30 pm
Description:
This hike has it all, starting in the forest before traversing a beautiful grassy meadow and then gaining elevation in the alpine as you climb to the ridge. The views are spectacular throughout the hike. Due to the recent snowfall, we will hike with cleats or snowshoes, depending on the depth of the snow.
