Itinerary:

We will meet in the parking lot. Look for my blue Hyundai car.

We will take the main paved trail to the Muttart Conservatory and back.

We will stop at the conservatory for about 30 minutes to use the washroom and have a short optional visit to the conservatory for those who would like to, or you can sit in the café. I'm not sure if it will be open to serve food at that time of day. Feel free to call 311 and find out. A single admission to the conservatory is $12 and an annual pass is $43 if you want to see all the wonderful plants. There are 4 pavilions, so it will mean a quick 6 minute visit to each one, so a single admission may not be justified. Call me on my cell 780-298-0311 if you have any questions.

The trail will likely be snowy or icy. You can bring ice cleats if you like.
Get to the Mill Creek ravine meetpoint by turning North off 82 Ave onto 95A St.; the group will meet at the trailhead at the north end of the upper parking lot.

Required Items to Bring:
appropriate clothing for weather conditions
trail shoes or hiking boots

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Water and/or a snack
Money for the café and admission to conservatory (optional)
