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 Gold Bar (not Capilano Park) parking lot at 10:30am and hit the trails at 10:40am sharp.

We will head SE into Gold Bar Park and Goldstick Park, where there are a number of trails to explore, with a few gradients to keep us amused.

The hike is expected to take approx 2.5 hours and will be at a moderate pace. Although it is generally classed as a "moderate" hike, there are some steeper sections along the way.

To find me in the parking lot, I will have a yellow EOC baseball cap and driving a silver Toyota Rav4.
