An adventure driving tour from Canmore along the unpaved highway 742 is a scenic way to explore three provincial parks in Alberta. This corridor follows the Spray River valley (currently flooded by the Spray Lakes Reservoir) and the Smith-Dorrien Creek valley. The first park is Spray Valley Provincial Park, which offers stunning views of the Spray Lakes Reservoir and the surrounding mountains. You can enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, boating, and camping in this park. The second park is Bow Valley Provincial Park, which is located at the confluence of the Bow and Kananaskis Rivers. This park has diverse habitats and wildlife, as well as trails, picnic areas, and interpretive programs. The third park is Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, which is one of the largest and most popular parks in Kananaskis Country. You can find alpine lakes, glaciers, forests, and meadows in this park, as well as opportunities for outdoor recreation and education. The driving tour ends at the junction to highway 40 at Kananaskis Lakes, where you can continue your adventure in Kananaskis Country or return to Canmore / Calgary.
