Snowshoe: Burstall Lakes, Kananaskis

Description:

We’ll climb along a forested path to a series of lakes and big open views of surrounding peaks. Onward past the Robertson Glacier to a final climb to another valley where we’ll enjoy our lunch.  If snow is abundant this trail allows for lots of powdery off-trail exploration.
