Since way back in time when glaciers created the peaks and valleys of Kananaskis Country, the region has carried a magic that corresponds to the spiritual connections emanating from its former residents. The history of Kananaskis dates back to Neolithic times. Archeologists have discovered a myriad of artifacts that date back to 4500 BC, reinforcing the knowledge that this region has been the pathway from the mountains to the valleys throughout many an age. In the 18th century, Kananaskis was dominated by the Blackfoot, Sarcee, and Peigan tribes and in the mid 19th century, the Stoney arrived. Today the Stoney people are still gathering herbs and berries, hunting, fishing, trapping, and camping in the area. Named by the explorer John Palliser after a man named Kananaskis who was struck by an axe in the head and survived, Kananaskis County contains a story unique to the Canadian Rockies.
Weather in the Canadian Rockies is notorious for changing on a dime. Within a ten minute span, you can experience wild extremes in temperature, depending on which way the Chinook winds are blowing. These warm winds that blow in from the coast can turn a freezing day into a temperate one within minutes. The best way to dress for Kananaskis is to layer your clothing, adding or subtracting as the climate changes. Keep an extra layer along with you, even in summer, and in winter, be prepared to peel off that extra layer every now and then. Average temperatures in summer run from the mid-60s to 70’s F with lows in the 30’s at night. In winter, expect temperatures that run in the 20’s by day and minus degrees at night.
