Itinerary: | |||||||
Distance: ~12.5 km return Elevation gain: ~750m Proper hiking boots required, sorry NO runners/sandals/ and NO jeans).(: ++ thanks The hike is only about 30 minutes away from Canmore and entirely on an adequate trail, which is rewarding from the start. The short, forested approach is mostly creek side. You'll soon burst into a basin enjoying rapidly expanding views of Spray Lakes Reservoir and the Three Sisters Massif. Once you surpass the trees and enter the canyon, the crest of a moraine offers a gentle ascent probing the realm of rock and ancient ice. Please do not be in a rush to return to Calgary, since we are out to enjoy the day-hiking time may vary. Please note this hike will involve climbing the rocky moraine to the canyon, though no scrambling experience will be necessary. PACE: Please note that this is not a speed demon's hike (getting to the top in record time) nor is it for very slowpokes. We will be hiking at a moderate pace on gentler grades and at a slower pace on steeper terrain. If you're not sure about a hike, feel free to contact the coordinator and remember to always hike within your ability in order to be able to keep up with the group. If you have not hiked before nor recently hiked with 500M+ elevation gain, this hike is not for you. | |||||||
