    Hikes in Sibbald Creek Trail

    Region in Kananaskis Country, Alberta

    Tucked in the foothills of Kananaskis, the Sibbald Creek Trail area boasts phenomenal views of snow-capped peaks stretching deep into the horizon. For example, at the top of Cox Hill, 12 different peaks take over your line of vision. And guess what? You won't have to worry about bumping into a ton of other people on the trail as most flock to the routes peppered along Highway 40 over this highly underrated area.

    The best hikes in Sibbald Creek Trail offer various vistas, tailor-made for all types of hikers. Expect rolling hills of greenery contrasted with snow-dusted peaks to envelop you on most hikes in this area—even if the trails are more on the chill, low-elevation, short side of things. If you're from Calgary or Cochrane, you'll want to take advantage of the hidden network of routes scattered across Sibbald Creek Trail due to its nearby proximity. Who knew you could save gas money and hit up the mountains at the same time. Bonus!

    Hiking in Sibbald Creek Trail is a fun outing for anyone who wants to get outside but doesn't feel like driving to Banff or Canmore for an epic day of revelling in the fresh air and unreal quintessential Canadian scenery.
