We'll start from the Peter Lougheed Visitors Centre and connect to the Penstock Loop trail after approx. 2 kms. The Penstock Loop snowshoe trail is well marked and crosses the Smith-Dorrien a couple of times. We will also be checking out the water pipe (penstock) to see the ice "sculptures". Jan 26th Update: Do not believe the rumours - Penstock Loop is alive and well and re-opened to the public. http://www.tpr.alberta.ca/parks/kananaskis/XCSkiTrails%20Reports/PLPP_XC_Trails.pdf |
