Write Up:
This is quite a dense wooded area located west of the Valley Ridge golf course. There are lots of trails braiding so 'all trails' app was essential for route finding. We had the benefit of Nona's map from a previous trip which we basically followed. It took us along the river out to a number of view points of the Bearspaw Dam so there were open areas as well. We did approx 7 km and 190 metres eg. The dirt trail is very roly poly with lots of roots. Its definitely more of a hike than a city walk and I recommend hiking poles for the steep sections. Lots of wildflowers and few people. While suitable for mountainbiking we didnt see any - yeah
