Your day begins at Peter Lougheed Park Discovery and Information Centre parking lot, where you’ll meet your expert guide. Over the course of 4 to 5 hours you will complete an easy hike including several stops for breaks and interpretation. Your guide will share insights into local geology, ecosystems, wildlife ecology and conservation practices, with a special focus on grizzly and black bears. In the winter everything is different. The trails are less busy, and you often feel like the whole forest belongs to you. The snow absorbs all sounds, and it is like you are floating through a magical wonderland on your snowshoes. Winter is the season of tracks. The forest reveals its secrets through the snow. Deer, moose, snowshoe hare and other tracks are common and sometimes you can find pine marten, lynx, wolf, cougar or, in early and late winter season, even bear tracks. You will learn intriguing facts about the critters of the winter forest, and.
