Grassi Lakes

Grassi Lakes is a beautiful short hike near Canmore, with turquoise lakes and crystal-clear water. The lakes look their best on a sunny day, so this hike is totally sun-dependent! ☀️ If Saturday doesn’t look sunny enough, I’ll move the hike to Sunday. Please sign up only if you’re flexible with the day. It’s a great little mountain outing that won’t take up the whole day!
