Windtower

Wind Tower is a deceptively accessible hike to an amazing summit view. Be prepared for gale force winds, even on hot days.

Wind Ridge – A Hike with Spice

Wind Ridge is the ideal Kananaskis hike. Close to Canmore, with great views and some good elevation gain. A bit of hands-on-rock near the summit to spice things up.

The North summit of Opal Ridge is a great scramble. Lots of quality elevation in a relatively short distance.
