Mount Lipsett is an awesome wildflower hike in Kananaskis that few people think about. It's an easy peak to bag, though just because it's easy doesn't mean it doesn't require work. To summit Mount Lipsett, you'll still have to hike a 15km round trip, but the pinnacle of the wildflower goodness starts around the 5 km mark, where there are plenty of Silky Phacelias.

Though the trail starts out fairly boring, once you get above the tree line, you’ll have expansive views of the entire valley that involve plenty of beautiful flowers. As you work towards the summit, you’ll enjoy views of the mammoth Mist Mountain while bursts of purple and yellow lie beneath your feet.

Continue on to the summit, and make sure to sign the summit register!
