Trail Run in West Bragg Creek recreation
area. Viewpoints of the Rockies and meandering
through forested ridges. We will be going up
Ranger Summit then on to Strange Brew back down
to the carpark. Pace will be steady uphill
(power hike up) and trotting/jogging/running
faster downhill. We can expect ice for most of
the trails so you'll need microspikes or
similarly pointy. After the hike, we can
head to Bragg Creek for some refreshments if
anything is open. NOTE: Bring Microspikes, lots of ice on the trail. Approx. Distance: 9 KM return Approx Elevation Gain: 350 M | |||||||
