  My wife and I were along with Pow Momma on the gondola ride up Kicking Horse. The views were awesome and the lunch at the restaurant was great. The hiking was limited by the young kids and the time available but there is something for everyone at the summit. The hike up from the bottom will be difficult for many people. However, taking the gondola up and walking down should be OK for those who are reasonably fit, with good shoes and hiking poles to reduce the stress on the knees.

  It was a wonderful outing which I highly recommend.

  for free snowshoeing in the columbia valley check out copper ridge golf course.

  park near the copper point resort, you can just go on the golf course.

  it's popular so you should be able to see other peoples tracks.

  Dog Sledding

  my wife and i had a blast dog sledding as a bucket list item.

  it was a cold day but our clothes, the blankets provided in the sled and the activity were enough to keep us warm.

  it was a snowy, beautiful day near canmore, alberta.

  My wife and I had a blast dog sledding as a bucket list item. It was a cold day but our clothes, the blankets provided in the sled and the activity were enough to keep us warm. It was a snowy, beautiful day near Canmore, Alberta. Snowy Owl Dog Sledding in Canmore ran the fun and educational dog sled outing ending with hot chocolate around a fire.

  Some participants drive the sleds with minimal instruction and the support of staff on the run. The dogs are friendly and seem to enjoy everything about the outing.

  I recommend this activity for couples of any age and for families with children older than 5.
