Itinerary:

Snowshoe fun everyone. Beginners ARE ENCOURAGED to come out and try this easy and relaxing sport. If you can walk, you can snowshoe. . It's a great opportunity to just check out the sport before you tackle something harder, or out-of-town.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that there is not enough snow, we will proceed anyway with a hike in the area.

***If you don't own snowshoes, I (Lynn) have been able to obtain a dozen pairs, so folks can try out the sport without having to rent them. I will make them available on a first come first serve basis. Please add your request in the notes section. Or you can also rent a pair at either MEC or Totem Outfitters.

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 used. Others are more narrow and uneven. Parts of the Snowshoe may require some elevation changes. It will allow us to scene some scenic views of the river valley.

To find me, I'll be driving a Blue Kia Sportage and wearing my yellow EOC baseball cap. I will be park at the back end near the bright red portapotty, so is should be easy to spot me.

Required Items to Bring:
Water Weather-appropriate clothing (toques, gloves, etc., and dress in synthetic layers) Snowshoes and boots are required Hiking poles are recommended, but not required and as this is an easy trail folks should be fine.
Participants must provide their own equipment

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

The park is located at the very west end of Rabbit Hill road, off Terwillegar Drive.

For those who are coming from Whitemud Drive, take the Terwillegar exit, and turn right at Rabbit Hill Road. The road will go down the hill into the Terwillegar Park parking lot, which is where we will meet.

Notes:

Consider renting snowshoes. This is an excellent way to experience the sport without a large commitment money or time wise. If you are renting snowshoes you may wish to reserve these rentals earlier than later as these rentals are especially popular on weekends.
