    Default backcountry camping

    i want to get a camping trip organized this summer, but im trying to figure out what the name of this one particular lake in kananaskis is (went there back in the day with boy scouts). im hoping someone here might know what the name is

    it is this lake located right on the border of bc and alberta and is pretty much on the top of a mountain. lol, other than that i dont remember anything else about it

    i figure it is either in
    spray valley provincial park
    peter lougheed provincial park
    elbow sheep wildland provincial park
    or don getty wildland provincial park
    because those are the only areas located by the BC/Alberta border


    it is probably a lost cause, i dont know enough info. but its worth a shot asking here...

    every july long weekend me and my buddies go up to PickleJar Lake about 30 minutes west of Fortress Mountain in the Peter Lougheed Prov. Park..

    it's a 6km hike up a mountain and at the top there's the 2 lakes that are surrounded by mountains..

    hmmm, here's a list of lots of alpine lakes in kananaskis to oldman region on/near the border:
    Maude lake (in BC)
    Lawson lake
    Three isle lake
    Aster lake
    Rawson lake
    Frozen lake (in BC)
    Elk lakes (in BC)
    Memory lake
    Running rain lake
    Loomis lake
    Lake of the horns
    Carnarvon lake

    If you acessed the hike from the spray valley, you would have hiked into Banff national park, as it borders BC. Some lakes acessed from spray valley are:
    Leman lake
    Lake gloria
    Lake terrapin
    Marvel lake
    Owl lake
    Palliser lake (in BC i think)
    Back lake (in BC)

    If you tell me how long the hike was, where you acessed the hike from, what you passed on the hike, how big the lake was etc, I could narrow it down.

    every july long weekend me and my buddies go up to PickleJar Lake about 30 minutes west of Fortress Mountain in the Peter Lougheed Prov. Park
    Picklejar lake isnt anywhere close to the BC border
