Elbow Lake, Peter Lougheed Provincial Park — photo spot in Kananaskis Trail, Kananaskis, AB T3Z 0C4, Canada
Elbow Lake, Peter Lougheed Provincial Park
Alpine Elbow Lake sits beneath rugged peaks in Peter Lougheed PP — perfect for mirror reflections, mountain panoramas, wildflower foregrounds and peak-lit sunrise/sunset shots. Reachable via a short–moderate trail from the Kananaskis Trail trailhead; parking available but fills early in summer — a Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required. Best at calm mornings or golden hour; autumn larch color elevates compositions. Expect changing weather; trail can be muddy or snowy outside summer.
