Hike Iyarhe Ipan
3.02.5 mi / 1476.4 ft gainIyarhe Ipan means "mountain point" in Stoney, and while it's far from the highest peak you'll ever climb, it certainly is worth it.

Raft the Kananaskis River
4.7The river is perfect for first time rafters and families, but the Kananaskis River also provides enough thrills for even a seasoned whitewater enthusiast.
