Description

AllTrails

This site is a social media site with thousands of users with user submitted data creating a large archive of searchable trails. A positive of this site is there are many filters so you can nail down a trail based on length, incline, or difficulty. The negative is because it is based on user submitted data, sometimes a difficult trail is marked as easy which can be misleading. For a yearly fee, you can download maps, which for most trails, is very helpful. Users must only remember that it is essentially a wikipedia of trails, so there will be some misinformation floating out there. Also one should not rely on AllTrails to determine if a trail is open or closed.

Friends of Kananaskis Country

A great source of information about rules in Kananaskis Country and volunteer opportunities. I encourage you to explore volunteer opportunities and give back if you can. It's a great way to meet people!
