How to get there: From Calgary drive west on Hwy 1 until exit 118 to Kananaskis Trail/Hwy 40. Drive about 50 km to where the road closes (Dec - Jun). Park and walk to the road blockades and you will see the trail sign.
The yellow portion is your trail.
TRAIL DETAILS
Your trail head will be marked by a sign that says Wintour Trail 5 km (note this is one way and will be another 5 km to return). Route finding is non-existent on this one. You are simply following the highway there and back. Where the snowshoe tracks stop and you see a little neon orange snowshoe sign veering to the left you may continue a short ways. (But this is where we turned around). Return the way you came.
