Itinerary:

Meet at the parking lot for Dawson Park (10298 89 Street) at 5:45PM for a 6:00PM departure.
I will be wearing a yellow EOC baseball cap, so you can recognise me.

As this is a conditioning hike, we will walk at a fairly brisk pace throughout the hike, but we will have breaks!
Also, the hike is on a mixture of paved and unsurfaced trails.

Head NE from the parking lot as far as Kinnaird Ravine. We will head into the Ravine, and walk up it as far as its access by 82 Street.
There are two sets of stairs in Kinnaird Ravine, so we will spend 10-15 mins torturing ourselves, oops - I mean stair climbing! :-)

We will then walk back through the Ravine into the River Valley, and then pick up the famous "goat trail" that gradually climbs up out of the River Valley as far as 82 Street / Jasper Avenue.
Once we've followed in the footsteps of the goats, we'll then walk back down the goat trail into the River Valley and return to Dawson Park.
