The South Lawson Peak route is a steep trail with a short, non-technical scramble near the summit. The trail begins at a pullout at the base of the Penstock Loop trail, or you can park by Lower Kananaskis Lake for a scenic start along the shore. The summit of Little Lawson Peak rises to about 2,330 meters, with amazing views when the trees break, and even more fantastic views from the summit.
