James Walker Creek Hike / Kananaskis Country - Postponed!

James Walker Creek Trail Sept 2021

Description:   Like Headwall Lakes, this valley is accessed via the color-coded Smith-Dorrien skiing and mountain biking network of logging roads.  So, it’s a fairly easy walk to the lake.  Once there, you’re within reach of twin cirques divided by Mt. James Walker.
