On June 27/28th, a big group of us from the WMIG went up to the Forks Campground for a backpacking trip. Half the team left Calgary early so that we could drop off our gear at the Forks and hike up to Turbine Canyon and the Haag Glacier. It was hot already when we left the parking lot at 8am, but the first few sunny kilometers beside Upper Kananaskis Lake passed quickly and we were soon in the forest, making our way gently up to the campground. The trail is well maintained and enjoyable, but you stay low in the valley all the way up to the Forks and the trail is almost dead flat. We covered the 7km to the Forks really quickly and were happy to leave our overnight gear behind, stashed in the woods near the campsites.
