Canada Mount Smutwood Summit Ridge
The Mount Smutwood trail is a super scenic trail along the most beautiful mountains of the Kananaskis Country. You will find sharp peaks, larches and good scrambling (next to hiking) in the area.
Photography Tips
When you have a subject in your frame, you want to get into a faster shutter speed and in a faster shutter amount per second. Freeze the motion and set the focus to people so you don't miss it.
Travel Information
In order to get here, you would need to start the hike at the free parking at the trailhead. However keep in mind that you need a Kananaskis Conservation Pass when parking your car.
The roundtrip is about 18km long and takes you up 920m elevation through muddy, not well maintained terrain. This trail is nothing for beginners. Also the summit ridge gets quite exposed at some points, so be aware of that.
Furthermore, this is prime grizzly bear territory. Be familiar with proper defensive behavior and carry bear spray!
