The Return Trek is Just as Rewarding
Once you rest at your destination, the sun is hinting that it’s about to begin its daily descent, so that is the cue for you to head back down the trail. Luckily the trail is largely facing west. On your return trip, you will be treated to staggering valley views as the shimmering sun shines the path back to the parking lot.
Once in your car, it is about an hour back to the TransCanada Highway. A stop to refill at one of the many dining options in Kananaskis Village is the perfect way to stop and reminisce about the wonders of the Chester Lake Trail while they’re still fresh in your memory. We hate to see you leave, but after the memories created on the Chester Lake Trail, we know you’ll be back!
