L R HELICOPTERS’ tours offer a view of Alberta Kananaskis country that few people are able to enjoy.

Known locally as “K-Country”, this area is home to a variety of wildlife species, so be sure to have your camera ready! This unique landscape is unlike any other as it is filled with lakes and rivers that flow through breathtaking valleys created by the Rocky Mountains. Get up close and personal to Moose Mountain for a view the whole family will love. Yet another glorious sight is Elbow Falls. Waterfalls are one thing from the ground, but something else entirely from 1000 feet above! Join us on this tour for a memory that will last a lifetime.

The tour of the Elbow Lake and Opal Range involves a 60-minute loop that begins as you head west into the Rocky Mountains, a truly amazing view in itself. As you reach Bragg Creek via Red Wood Meadows, just west of Calgary, your pilot will take you along the banks of the Elbow River, where you can view the abundant vegetation and wildlife in the area. Following the river, the Elbow Falls will soon come into view, an amazing climax to your tour.

Your pilot will fly over the falls allowing you to take in all of its beauty before turning southwest toward Forget Me Not Pond and the Elbow River. Following canyons and steep valleys, you will reach the Sheep Lakes and finally, the Elbow Lake, located on the Elbow Pass at 6900 Feet.

Leaving behind the Rae Glacier (the last existing glacier in the K-country) we will climb to 11,000 feet above sea level riding the Opal Range northbound. An astonishing view over the Kananaskis Lakes to the west, K-country to the east, and the Rockies to the northwest.

Over Canyon Creek, we will turn east to will fly over the Mount McDougall Memorial on Powderface Trail. The tour continues to Moose Mountain at 8000 feet above sea level, one of the highest lookout towers in Alberta, before continuing on to Moose Flats.

It’s called Moose Flats for a reason; moose are often spotted in this area, so have your cameras ready! As a bonus, on the return trip to Springbank, you will fly over the famous movie set originally constructed for the 1994 film Legends of the Fall Starring Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins. The set is still in use today and most recently in the film “The Assassination of Jessie James”.

Your L R HELICOPTERS’ Kananaskis tour will then conclude back at our base in Springbank. We are sure you will never look at Southern Alberta the same way again.
