    A very fun and interesting caving adventure. Our guide was knowledgeable and personable and made sure we had a great time.

    I'm sure I'll be repeating what others say but ---- when you get to the fork a little way down the trail, it would be best to go to the left. That way as you hike, you'll gradually have the waterfall come into view. And it would be easier to go up the steps, then down, when it's a bit wet.

    The lakes are beautiful. I'd call them more large ponds :) We had a cloudy day and even then the colours were fantastic.

    We returned via the gravel road.

    The hike up I'd say is somewhere between easy and moderate.

    It took us two hours -- that including lots of stops for photos and to just sit and enjoy.

    You do need to get a Kananaskis Park pass -- you can do that on line and I believe the cost was $15 for the day.

    My wife and I had been looking for Robert Bissell's Moonlighters I print for many years. When Art Country listed one for sale, we didn't believe the posting. We immediately called Angelo and he confirmed he had the print. Working with Angelo was a wonderful experience. He took the time to answer all our questions and did a superb job packing and protecting the print for shipping. A++ rating for Angelo and Art Country!

    We came to do a hike , and took an easy route which was well marked, then ate at the restaurant when we came back. We walked up to the centre from town centre, which was a lovely walk. Food was nice with generous portions, and their are exhibits from the olympics all around, which make it a very interesting place. Only thing that was missing was bike hire at the location.

    It's a must do classic, and one of the easiest hikes around Canmore to get to.

    Take your time, it's a steep climb all the way up. Can be done by all skill levels summertime when there is no ice or snow. Be prepared for strong wind at the top.

    The trail has had some upgrades done to it. Spray Lakes Road is getting work done to in 2022 and the road will be closed.

    What a gorgeous lake. Very small to walk around and get to but we took the stroll through town from another parking lot since this place now has paid parking. It is such a beautiful lake. A wonderful trip to take in the morning.

    We went to Canmore for the weekend and took time to walk downtown and look at all the unique stores. The photograph in the front window of the one store was captivating, it made us want to go in and see more. When we walked in, the employee was very inviting and greeted us. She told us a bit about the artist and how each photo has a story. We met the artist and we spent some time listening to his story and how it became his passion. The photos are beautiful and spoke to us. We ended up buying a piece and we look forward to enjoying it in our own home. A new collection has been started! Make sure you ask about the stories behind the photos. Wonderful experience.
