At the meeting place, look for Betty who will have a small/medium-sized dog with her (Shiba Inu/Husky cross), and Ian who sadly doesn't have a dog but he will be wearing a yellow EOC cap! :-)

The hike will be moderate in intensity - apart from the 200 stairs!
Distance / duration is approx 10km (approx. 2.5 hrs).
There are paved and unpaved sections and will include climbing a 200 step staircase. We will complete the river loop trail (3.5km) and the birch tree trail (1km) and then head toward the Fort Edmonton Foot bridge over to the staircase for a beautiful view.

There will be opportunities for resting since there are plenty of benches, and at the half way point we can stop for a bathroom break near the John Janzen Nature Centre.

Please bring water and proper footwear / clothing for the conditions.

Dogs are allowed and must be leashed at all times.
