Itinerary:

I'm planning on doing weekly Sunday urban hikes. There might be weeks where I may end up switching it to a Saturday though - it'll be before registration opens though or if inclement weather conditions.

My plan is to hike the entire river valley from NE Edmonton all the way to the SW over about a 12 week period. There will also be some weeks where we won't be along the river valley but along creeks within the city.

Please note that this will be a moderate paced hike.

We will meet at 10:30am at the parking lot at Dawson Park and will leave at 10:40am sharp for the hike.

We will head west on the north side of the river through Riverdale past the Cloverdale foot bridge to the Low Level Bridge. We will cross over to the south side of the river, head back east through Henrietta Louise Edwards Park, Cloverdale, then Forest Heights Park. Finally we'll cross back over to the north side of the river using Dawson Bridge back to the parking lot.

The original plan was to continue to the east side of the Riverside Golf Course along the unpaved path before heading back to the parking lot BUT due to the indefinite trail closure, we'll have to skip the extra 20 minutes.

To find me, I will be wearing my yellow EOC baseball cap (also check my profile) and driving a silver Toyota Rav4.
