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 walk. The difficulty rating is easy to moderate (meaning the distance which will be ~7-10km & terrain).

***The MEETING TIME is 10:30 AM and we will be leaving at 10:30 AM sharp!***

There are trails winding through the entire park on the Southside of the North Saskatchewan River. Some trails in the park are wide and well trodden. Others are more narrow and uneven. Parts of the hike will require some up and downhill as well. But it's well worth it to reach some of the scenic points of the park overlooking the river.

We will head towards but not all the way to the Anthony Henday Drive overpass which is located south of the park.

To find me in the parking lot, please look at my volunteer profile picture. Also I will be driving a silver Toyota Rav4 and will be wearing my yellow EOC baseball cap.
