Rae Glacier Trail in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park is a popular 5.1-mile out-and-back hike in Alberta, Canada. The trail offers stunning landscapes, from forests and meadows to rocky sections with loose rocks and scree. Hikers can enjoy views of Elbow Lake, waterfalls, and even spot trout swimming in the crystal-clear water. The hike up to Rae Glacier is challenging but rewarding, with breathtaking views of peaks and rock faces. It's a great spot for backpacking, camping, and wildlife spotting, but be prepared for some steep sections and potential snow crossings. Don't forget your bear spray and enjoy the beauty of this remote and unserviced trail!
