Cross-country Ski Hidden Cove
Camping site in the winter
A little trip to the fairly new “Hidden Cove” camp/rest area on Maligne lake was achieved by cross country ski on crusty, wind swept and icy conditions, nevertheless it was still a great day to go out and get some fresh air. This camp area has a shelter, four tent spots and equipped with bear proof lockers. We suspect this is going to be a busy campsite since it is only 4km from the Maligne docks.
The old burned forest makes a real nice contrast on this landscape.
The lake in the winter might be the only time the dogs are allowed in this area due to some wildlife species at risk.
Some old cross country skis might have some issues navigating in these conditions, proper gear does help, you might want to check out how to choose proper equipment.
If starting out on cross-country skiing, this particular day was not the best conditions to learn on.
note: Bald Hills access will be opening soon at the end of February and dogs are prohibited, so no more exercising your pet there, you’ll have to leave them home. There is a dog sitting service in Jasper, link below.
