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.

We will meet at Emily Murphy Park in the parking lot by groat road bridge, all the way to the west. at 10:30am, and leave at 10:40am.

We will hike east along the south bank of the river, passing the Kinsmen, Queen Elizabeth, and Rafters Landing Parks, until we reach the Cloverdale pedestrian bridge. We will cross to the north bank to Louise McKinney Park and take a short break.

We will return on the north side, crossing again at the Menzies pedestrian bridge to get back to Emily Murphy Park.

Note: While this is an urban hike, we will be walking fairly quickly; estimated speed will be around 4 km/hr. We will have a few short breaks
