Are there many other recreation areas in Canada or North America that have been set aside like Kananaskis? It seems like we're pretty fortunate.

This really dawned on me more this year as well.
Our local "playground" is world class.
Locals are starting to wake up to this as well, as hiking is perhaps the most pandemic friendly activity there is.
Most other places you'd get a brown murky lake in a forest with not much to see as your recreational spot.
We have it pretty good, dry/cool climate included.
