You could be mistaken for thinking that the High Rockies Trail in Kananaskis is my new favourite, go-to trail.

This time around, the snow was gone and the trail was in truly spectacular shape: winding single track with a great combination of rocks, roots and dirt; short and sharp ups and downs; and spectacular views along the shores of the Spray Lakes Reservoir and, after crossing the highway at the Driftwood Day Use Area, at various points through the trees.
