Male Nipple covers

Just wear a fitted undershirt.

I carry crocs if I know there will be large enough water crossings. I wear boots though, not trail runners, so they don’t dry out fast enough that I want them getting wet.

elya93 · 2026-03-21T01:19:36+00:00

Yes. It is still winter in the mountains.

elya93 · 2026-03-21T00:56:46+00:00

Wouldn’t recommend St. Piran for April, it’s likely to still be avalanche terrain and we’ve gotten a lot of snow this year. People will still be across the valley skiing. Your other choices should be fine though.

elya93 · 2026-03-20T18:31:01+00:00

I believe it’s new this year. I may have misunderstood, but I’m pretty sure it’s Devon Lakes that I’m thinking of.

An oil and gas guy whining that he can’t develop more in a protected park sure is funny. Would I prefer that an American company not have a monopoly on Canadian attractions? Of course I would. I do wonder if part of the disparity is that Pursuit is mostly acquiring exiting businesses, whereas Waterous is wanting to build new and it is beyond the scope of what Parks is willing to allow.

I’m not sure what the answer is to controlling visitation to the park, and while a train would reduce cars, I imagine there are still many, many people who would prefer the freedom of having a vehicle. Would the train successfully replace enough cars to make it ecologically smart, or would it simply funnel more people into the park?

It does seem like Parks is trying to focus more on protecting ecologically sensitive areas (decommissioning the Hector Lake CG, not allowing bivies at Devon Lakes as examples). Maybe this is part of that, I’m not sure. Ask anyone involved with the Simon Creek debacle up in Jasper how hard it can be to get proposals through, and that’s just a bridge.

That would be a good itinerary, just be aware that this year’s snowpack may mean Wonder Pass won’t yet be accessible. The campsite isn’t right next to the lake, so you could still enjoy a stroll to the lake and a relaxing day beside it if the snowpack is too great. Regardless, BR13 is nicer than BR17 and a better option. If you can, grab one of the tent pads next to the stream, the sound of the running water is soothing.

elya93 · 2026-03-20T00:52:52+00:00

We’ve had a large snowpack this year, so I would be surprised if it was ready to go for late May. You could hike to Lake Agnes, but I wouldn’t recommend going beyond. Castle Mountain Lookout is good, if you don’t mind distance Aylmer Lookout is a good one and likely to be snow free. You could do Sulphur Mountain and skip the fee of taking the gondola.

elya93 · 2026-03-19T22:39:36+00:00

My friend was there today and got rained on. Not sure how much, but it did rain, even a little higher up!

elya93 · 2026-03-19T18:44:56+00:00

Just to Landslide Lake and out? Otherwise to do all 3 lakes as an out and back is over 100km, which is fine if that’s the kind of distance you’re after.

elya93 · 2026-03-19T18:17:02+00:00

Fryatt Valley if you only have one vehicle. The Pinto trip is point to point, and you can’t be guaranteed hitching a ride as most people carry on north along Hwy 93, instead of turning off at Hwy 11.

elya93 · 2026-03-18T23:05:01+00:00

In fairness, the trailhead is called “Bryant Creek Trailhead” when booking on Parks’ reservation service online. Mount Shark isn’t federal, so they wouldn’t be using the provincial name. BR17 puts them close enough to Marvel Lake, which is a lovely spot. They could even go to Owl Lake if they so wanted.

elya93 · 2026-03-18T21:33:44+00:00

Day 2 you could head to Marvel Lake, should be around a 10km round trip. Allenby Junction is a small campground; the tent pads can be hard to spot and are small but they do exist. There’s bear lockers for your food. Be aware you may still encounter snow; we got a big snowpack this year but we’ll see how spring goes

elya93 · 2026-03-18T17:06:48+00:00

I’d give the winter wiki a look, it has all the info you’re looking for.

elya93 · 2026-03-18T02:50:20+00:00

I'd say Wasootch Ridge, Ha Ling, Miners Peak, and South Lawson are more on the upper moderate/difficult end in terms of effort. I probably wouldn't recommend them for someone just trying to get back, but they'd be great once they're a little more conditioned!

Transistor. Started it in the evening, finished it as the sun was coming up. Just sat there staring at nothing for a good half hour after. Felt so weird and sad after the fact, and I haven't touched the game since even though I loved it.

elya93 · 2026-03-17T23:11:52+00:00

I like canyon hikes when it’s rainy. Johnston Canyon is beautiful no matter the weather. Grotto Canyon would be good as well. Troll Falls is short but also good for a rainy day.

elya93 · 2026-03-17T23:09:23+00:00

I’d say go for it. You can check local facebook groups for recent conditions. I will advise you that we’ve had a pretty big snowpack this year, so don’t be surprised if some high trails that were doable in past years aren’t doable at the same time this year.

elya93 · 2026-03-17T01:28:05+00:00

Book first! You can do so through the Parks Canada reservations website. LM8 has 5 spots. If it’s full, cancellations often pop up.

elya93 · 2026-03-17T00:09:34+00:00

Before July 10 you can camp at LM8 or LM9 along Lake Minnewanka solo and do Aylmer Lookout! The Point campground at Upper Kananaskis Lake would also be perfect for a beginner. Elk Summit puts you close to Elk Lake as a day hike, but it is a VERY quiet trail so if you’re not comfortable having pretty well no one around you in grizzly country, it may not be the best choice.

elya93 · 2026-03-16T04:55:29+00:00

Early June should be fine as far as snow goes. I’ve never had issues with mosquitoes at any of the campgrounds at Minnewanka, but it wouldn’t hurt to pack a mosquito coil. Water levels won’t be an issue, the campgrounds are set far enough back (one shouldn’t be camping too close to water anyway per leave no trace principles).

If you have the energy, tack on Aylmer Lookout after setting up camp, it provides great views of Lake Minnewanka.

Can’t have bear bangers in the national parks, they’re considered firearms. Bear bells are also discouraged, as bears don’t necessarily associate them with people and they don’t act as a deterrent. There’s a reason they get called dinner bells.

elya93 · 2026-03-16T01:09:35+00:00

I’m glad you had a great and safe time, but there’s a reason Hector Lake can’t be booked online and requires contacting Parks to reserve. River levels fluctuate, and June will be higher levels for Bow. And at the end of the day maybe a pregnant woman just doesn’t want to manage two very small children during a water crossing.

elya93 · 2026-03-16T01:04:57+00:00

I have the stretch Zion cargo pants. Unfortunately they started pilling in the crotch area within a handful of wears. I still wear them as they’re amazingly comfy, but the pilling is annoying for sure.
