The Kananaskis Area lies between Bragg Creek Recreational Area and the Banff National Park. In order to get to it, you have to drive around 80 km west of Calgary by the Trans Canada Highway, and then turn south, directly into Kananaskis Country. This is the home of two Provincial Parks, Peter Logheed and part of the Elbow-Sheep Wildland Provincial Park. There are the former Winter Olympic facilities, of downhill and slalom on the Nakiska ski hills. You will find many picnic areas along the lakes and streams, in the summer, and cross-country trails in the winter. Kananaskis can be enjoyed in all seasons with its abundance of hotels, restaurants and recreational facilities.
