Default Early Season / Easy Hikes
Good day,

Anyone have any suggestions for hikes for Saturday which wouldn't be to wet (i.e. still snow or little snow)?

Not looking for anything hard, just more of a walk up hill

Fullerton Loop is the number one current contender!:

EDIT: looking for something closer to, or on the way to Canmore as we are heading there after!

Thank you!

Usually I only deal with hiukes when I've had a little too much to drink...

My wife and I hiked to Grassi Lakes last weekend. It's a bit shorter than Fullterton Loop so may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I can attest that the trail was dry with little snow.

Sentinel pass or is there a hike around the lake?

Good scouting out trip for my temple hike to come in August!

Dangerous avalanche conditions this weekend in the mountains be very careful with trail selection in banff or kananaskis. Even yamnsuka has been covered. I would definately not do hikes in the moraine lake area which pass under avalanche slopes. Even in the trees looks pretty dangerous this week.

I would do prarie mountain which is near elbow falls past bragg creek.
