Burn off some turkey calories on Thanksgiving
this year! Mount Burke, in Kananaskis, is a
900m gain/13 km return hike/scramble. The
Cameron Fire Lookout sits at the top to provide
some shelter for a nice lunch spot! (Leftover
turkey?) Speed demons need not apply. Lots of
time for breaks and photo-ops. Be prepared for
late season conditions and perhaps some snow.
See you there!

| How to Get There: |
| Event Directions: |
|
From TransCanada Highway (#1) head south on
Kananaskis Trail Highway (#40) to Highwood
Junction #940 (Note: From Dec. 1 - Jun. 15 the
highway south of Grizzly Creek is closed).
Head south on 940 (gravel road) to Cataract
Creek Campground (13 km). Until early October
you can access the campground directly and park
right at the start of the trailhead. Later in
the fall there is parking and washrooms
provided on the east side of 940 right at the
start of the Cataract Creek Campground Road.
This will add approximately another 1.2 km and
about 30 minutes to your day.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
*This trip may be cancelled in the event of poor
weather.
*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non- recoverable costs). The Calgary Section of the Alpine Club of Canada is a not for profit / flow through course and trip provider. We organize courses and trips based on member demand and divide any costs that we incur between event attendees. In other words, we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
