We were NOT prepared for the MacKenzie River Trail!

I was invited on a trip to the MacKenzie River Trail; this trail is often referred to as the “Red Mountain” trail. It is another one of Alberta’s more challenging trails. To call this trail narrow is an understatement; it cuts through a thick forrest in the Cardinal River basin; has several steep climbs, off-cambers and an deep washout section; it has all the makings of an epic adventure! The end of the trail is a summit of nearly 6,500 feet that has an amazing view of Redcap mountain.
