If you’re a sucker for a beautiful view, why not get a bit of a thrill while you’re at it? Nothing elevates a short and sweet hike like a bouncy bridge suspended in the middle of the forest. There are so many awe-inspiring hikes to choose from around Alberta, no matter what level or length you’re looking for. While this is a great problem to have, it’s still a problem because it makes it pretty hard to choose! We don’t want you to land in a state of decision paralysis, so we’ve done the choosing for you. So, what’s next? Blackshale Suspension Bridge in Kananaskis Country.
Located in the heart of Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, this gorgeous destination can be reached via a super-short 1 km loop, or a slightly longer 7 km loop. Depending on your route, this hike can take anywhere from half an hour to about two hours. Regardless, you’ll find yourself at the beautiful suspension bridge, walking over a steep valley with a glistening creek flowing through it. As you reach the center of the bridge, the valley will open up to offer you a brand new vantage point to take in all of the stunning Rocky Mountain views.
