SOUTH POCATERRA RIDGE HIKE | Kananaskis Country

South Pocaterra Ridge was one of the best hikes in the Canadian Rockies in terms of difficulty vs. reward. The whole hike took us just over 4 hours and the views from the top over the ridge were stunning. It is one of the most underrated and hidden gem hikes near Banff and Canmore. We barely saw anyone on the trail! The trail winds for the most part through a colorful valley filled with wildflowers, a shallow river, and wildlife like bighorn sheep and bears. It’s very peaceful and enjoyable, making for the perfect family or group hike. The final part of the ridge is demanding and very steep, but the 360° views from the top are well worth the effort. Enjoy endless views of the surrounding mountain peaks in the Kananaskis Valley before heading back! Just make sure to bring some hiking poles as the hike down can be tough on the knees. The South Pocaterra Ridge trail is a gorgeous fall hike as the valley is then filled with warmly colored larch trees. We heard it gets a lot busier during the fall, so be prepared!
