another nice video. what i appreciate in your postings/channel is your description/detailed info of your hike/trail with the date of the hike. all these info helps esp. to those unfamiliar of the area. thank you. looking forward on the next one.
Thanks for your wonderful comments. I try to make my videos as informative as I can😁 And the bonus for me is I can relive the hike every time I watch the videos. I will keep them coming. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks Cary! I use your videos to find hikes I can do. Your videos do a good job with trail directions and difficulty. This was actually one I was planning this year. This video shows it is ready to hike, but I think I will wait until September to see the larch change. 👍
What a goegeous hidden gem. The only down side to being a hidden gem is the increased chance for bear encounters... I'd prbly have been shouting out "hey bear!" the whole way after seeing the first fresh bear scat pile...lol
The chances of a bear encounter definately go up on less popular trails for sure. We just made sure that we were talking a lot and had our bear spray ready. If I was by myself I may have turned around after seeing that fresh bear scatt. After about kilometer 4 when we left to the smaller trail there was no more bear scatt.
Thanks so much. The best fall hike I have done in KCountry is Arethusa Cirque. But the downside is that it is always packed with people. I am going to give this one a try in the fall, I don't think there will be a lot of people on this one, and I want to try and get to the other side of the lake to get up close to the remnant glacier😁
@@LIVEONALBERTA Sounds like a good argument for this trail. And the images in your video look great! I'm currently looking for some nice larch hikes. We're finally coming back to Alberta in September. So excited! If we run into someone on this trail, I hope it's you and not a bear :-D Thanks for the beautiful video again.
@marcoKrb Another great Larch hike is Saddleback Pass. It starts out at Lale Louise. There were some people on it when I hiked it a few years ago, but nothing crazy like Larch Valley at Moraine Lake. I have a video of this one, it's called Saddle Mountain.
The official trail is called Frozen Lake via Elk Pass. The trailhead is called Elk Pass Trailhead and it is I Kananaskis Country just past the Boulton Creek Campground. I use All Trails to get to all my hiking locations. Hope this helps😁

Cheers from Okanagan valley British Columbia 🇨🇦
Cheers Rick😁 I hoped you like the video.
Awesome views!! Were you affected by the recent hailstorm?
A really gorgeous hike for sure😁 I only got rain at my place, no hail, I was lucky.
Beautiful as always! Would you rate this one as a top hike in Kananaskis when the larches start turning? Or would you recommend other trails for fall?

Looks like a great destination. not so keen on the road though,
Once we got to the creek the trail got a lot more beautiful, but the destination was stunning😁
How can I reach this location?

It is pronounced law heed.
Thanks😁
