There's some Alberta history to check out not too far from Lake Minnewanka parking, and we can do that on snowshoes. From the parking area we take the Cascade Fire Road for a ways before heading onto an abandoned trail that connects to the remains of the old coal mining town of Bankhead. Lots of building foundations and some old equipment to see. There'll be plenty of opportunities for selfies and group action shots, and naturally lunch in sunshine.
Our outbound route is mostly downhill for about 2.5 km into the Cascade River valley, so our return ascent is about 50 m.
