Itinerary:
My philosophy for conditioning is a combination of endurance, weight in backpacks and hills. We will begin with endurance training and weight in our backpacks.

If you have not been too busy over the winter I would suggest a day pack with light weight and then if you have been busy push yourself and increase your weight.

We will meet in Hazeldean at the new covered shelter along 68th Ave and 93rd St and hike in the Millcreek Ravine toward the Muttart, cross the river and head toward the Walterdale bridge, cross to the other side of the ravine and travel back to the shelter.

This event will be the first of many conditioning hikes I will post leading to a backpacking/camping event in June at Allstones Lake in David Thompson Country.
