Arethusa Cirque is one of Kananaskis Country's hidden gems, a beautiful 4.5 km loop nestled beneath dramatic peaks that weaves through forests, meadows, and the rocky remains of ancient glaciers. Not as well-known as neighboring Ptarmigan or Pocaterra Cirques, but equally spectacular, Arethusa Cirque offers an incredibly rewarding experience for relatively low effort. 

The short distance makes this hike accessible to both novice and experienced hikers, and we consider it one of the easier Kananaskis hikes you can enjoy. With varied terrain and sweeping panoramas that provide an unforgettable adventure in the Rockies, all members of the family will enjoy this one!
