The trail up Grizzly Creek in Kananaskis is an easy and quick way to explore the area and take in views. Leave the picnic area for an accessible wilderness experience that won’t eat up your day. Grizzly Creek is located amongst some incredible mountain ranges and makes for the perfect stop when driving along Highway 40.

Route Description for Grizzly Creek Trail

The short trail starts in the Grizzly Creek parking lot, which is, ironically, not along Grizzly Creek. There are great opportunities for bird watching, so be sure to bring your binoculars. The trail travels north from the parking lot for 600 m before meeting Grizzly Creek. Hike up the creek before reaching the turnaround point and heading back to the picnic area.
