Kananaskis Trail (Hwy 40) open mid June?

[MaDMaN_26]

I believe this road opens June 15th - I am golfing the 16th at Kanaskis and wanted to go this way for a couple different reasons...

I can't seem to find any official posting (on http://www.transportation.alberta.ca or what ever) saying it is for sure open on the 15th... just a few comments on like tripadvisor... anyone here know for sure?

I think what you're thinking of as closed is the part that leads up to the Highwood pass. The 40 is open all the way to the Peter Lougheed turnoff - the gate is at that point so you'll have no problem getting to the golf course.

ok I thought the gate when going From Longview to the course would be in the way... if not that makes it easy. Thanks.

As far as I know - you should be ok. My in laws went camping at Kidd a couple weeks ago....
If I'm wrong though, I really apologize in advance!

I'd be willing to bet that the gate is in the way. It's right at the entrance to Boulton Creek; so south of Mt. Kidd and the golf course.

Anyone done Highway 742?

742 is a gravel road running south from Canmore past the Spray lakes to Peter Lougheed Park. Its a nice drive, the road is very wide at points. Its still gravel though.
