Arethusa Cirque Trail

Arethusa Cirque is a moderately challenging hike amongst gorgeous fall foliage located in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park within Kananaskis Country. On this trail, you can look forward to vibrant larch needles as you follow a stream up to a picturesque alpine meadow. At the top, you can take in the dramatic views of Arethusa Mountain. The contrast of the golden larches against the rugged mountains creates a stunning visual feast that will leave you in awe. The Highwood Pass road, which provides access to this trail, is closed every year from December 1 to June 14, making the trail inaccessible during those months. Note that there are no amenities (garbage bins, toilets) at the parking lot.
