Itinerary:

Black Prince Cirque is a wonderful, family- friendly hike on the Smith-Dorrien. Close to Kananaskis Lakes, this is a good trail if you are camping nearby.

The start of the trail is at the signed trailhead, near the outhouses. From here, head out on an old logging road. After about 15 minutes cross a bridge over Smith Dorrien Creek and continue along the broad path. Soon it enters the forest and comes to a fork.

At the fork you can go either way, the right-hand trail takes you on a walk with interpretive posts and most people go in this direction.

In about an hour from leaving your car (faster if you aren’t hiking with little children) you reach Warspite Lake. This is a very pretty lake, and on calm, sunny days you will want to spend a while here, savouring the view of Black Prince Cirque high above and Mount Black Prince. The reflections in the lake can provide stunning photos, and you will find yourself snapping lots of pictures on a nice day. <
br> At the lake, there is a path to your right that goes partially around Warspite Lake to the falls.

Required Items to Bring:
Hiking boots, food and water. Weather appropriate clothing.
