The Mount Burke Trail is a steep, well-defined route that leads to the summit fire lookout in Kananaskis Country. It begins with a steady climb through forest before opening onto alpine slopes with views that expand the higher you go. The final stretch follows a rocky ridge to the historic Cameron Fire Lookout, where you're rewarded with sweeping views of the Livingstone Range and the Highwood Valley below.
