    Tips

    October 25, 2025

    Mount Burke in Kananaskis Country is a demanding but popular summit hike known for its restored fire lookout and sweeping 360-degree views. The trail climbs steadily through dense forest before breaking above the treeline, where switchbacks lead to the exposed ridge and final push to the summit.

    At the top, the old Cameron Fire Lookout offers a panoramic view over the Livingstone Range and Highwood Valley—one of the most striking views in southern Alberta.
