Nice perspective of upper and lower Kananaskis lakes
Spent the day up at Rawson, fishing was slow with 3 fish the best around 14". Tons of people on the trail and lake. Weather was a bit cool so we made the hike up the ridge. Nice views of upper and lower K on one side and rawson on the other

What a view.
I'll never understand the logic in wasting vacation time in a place like Las Vegas...give me Canadian wilderness, all day everyday.

Beautiful views of two lakes I have spent a lot of time fishing at over the years.

Have spent all my life in that area but never made the climb to the ridge. How far past the lake is the ridge? Is it a difficult assent?

Distance wise it is not far, elevation wise it is a fair climb with some parts being a scramble. Time wise 45 mins to an hour to comfortably get up there.
The descent is challenging on the knees and ankles. I would recommend trekking poles. Well worth the effort!

Maybe not if you lived in the mountains and were in them every day.
