We will meet at 6:15pm for a 6:25pm start.
I will be standing by a grey Hyundai wagon and wearing a yellow EOC cap so you can recognise me.

This will be a moderate-brisk hike, to work off the weekend!

The hike will start by crossing the Buena Vista Footbridge to the west side of the river.
We will continue by heading north up the long-ish steady climb to Riverside Drive.
Continue through the neighbourhood for a short while (including a great viewpoint over the River Valley), and enter MacKinnon Ravine via the access by the 142 Street bridge.
We will then continue west up MacKinnon Ravine as far as it goes (148 / 149 Street area).
For some variety, we will return via some nice residential streets, and access MacKenzie Ravine from its west end and continue through the ravine and the riverside trail to the meeting place.

1/ Dogs are welcome on this hike, please include them when you sign up.
