Hiking – Summer 2010

I am so glad that you would like to join me in hiking this summer. I have done a lot of hikes in Waterton/Glacier, but I am not familiar with what is available for hiking nearer to Calgary. This will be an adventure, as we experience these areas for the first time. If you have hiked any of these hikes before, please let me know, because it is always nice to have someone with a knowledge of the hike to “take the lead”.

There will be no sign-up, just come if you are able. Bring your hiking gear and a lunch. We will depart from Sundance Chapel each Thursday morning, at 8:00 am sharp. Please be there by 7:45 so we can arrange car pools and be gone by 8:00. Be prompt so you will not be left behind. We will not hike if the weather is not cooperating. I will notify you by email if there are any changes to the itinerary.

If you are not sure what to bring with you, or need more information, please contact Donna Craig at dscraig@shaw.ca
