Just east of the Icefields Parkway in Alberta this great trail opposite the beautiful Abraham Lake (N. Saskatchewan River). Gaining 2800 ft to get to the top of Allstones ridge includes a long exposed section of loose rock well worth the effort before heading down to the smaller Allstones lake. There is some amazing camping all along Abraham lake, requires the $30 annual Public Land Use Zone permit (what a great bargain). Hiked 5/20/25
The glacial waters of Abraham lake seen below the rocky peak of Allstones ridge. Snowy Kista peak is off in the distance.
Downhill from the summit of Allstones ridge, three hikers may be seen talking (about 1/4 mi away). Allstones lake is partially frozen below with Infinite Stones peak looming over it.
Looking out from the hillside, a rain/snow shower falls on Abraham lake below. Kista peak and Mt Michener can be seen in the background. This is the slope for the majority f the loose rock section, it gets steeper but with more defined footing at the top.
