Itinerary:

Note - if you sign up for this event, please keep an eye on your emails for updates on weather conditions etc.

Also, your co-ordinator has not walked in this area before, so there is an element of "exploration" involved.
(don't worry, I will have a trail map for this area!).

I believe that there are stairs in this area, but we won't be in a rush! Also, we will all be mindful of underfoot conditions.

Meet in the parking lot at Fort Edmonton Park at 11.00a.m. for registration - we will be leaving at 11:10a.m. for the hike.

We will head west alongside the river past Fort Edmonton, then cross the new Fort Edmonton footbridge to the north side of the river.
On the north side, we will explore the trails of Patricia Ravines and Wolf Willow Ridge, and may be walking through some residential areas as well.
Once we've done our exploring we will cross the river again, and return to the meeting place via the upper trail past Fort Edmonton.

Dogs are welcome on this hike: dog owners - please remember to register your dog too.

At the meeting place, Ian will be in a grey Hyundai Elantra, and wearing a yellow EOC baseball cap so you can recognise him.

Required Items to Bring:
Appropriate footwear and clothing (sadly winter has arrived....)
Water
