If you plan to visit the village rim, I highly advise to use the washroom first and bring water in case you get thirsty. The washroom will be a bit distant if you’re already in the middle of the walk.
This area is actually a baseball field, but guests or visitors can actually enjoy this side of the village, where you can play some sports like volleyball, soccer or Frisbee, or simply just lay a blanket somewhere and enjoy the sun with family and friends.
This walk along the village rim or others may call this ‘the winter walking trail ‘takes roughly 15 minutes with a few stops at the lookout to see and enjoy the picturesque view of the rockies and the rugged yet wondrous landscape of the valley down the plateau. However, if you want to enjoy the sceneries more, relax at the designated lookouts and be with nature, especially on a breezy morning walk, some guests prefer to stay there a bit longer. And for those who have a day trip at Kananaskis Nordic Spa, a few meters from the lodge, I think paving a visit at the village rim is another way of relieving your stress. While those who stay at the lodge for a few days, this spot is perfect to do your daily workout.
Lookout #2 gives you the best spot for panaroramic view of numerous mountain peaks on various vantage points. These include Mt. Kidd, Mt. James Walker, The Wedge, Fisher Peak, and Mt. McDougall. The lookout is even built with glass railing and adequate seats for a breath-taking experience of the rockies.
