Write Up:
There was a chilly wind as Helen and I headed up the hill from the Winter Club parking lot. Snow on the ground but no microspikes needed today. We were actually glad of the snow cover because areas without it were becoming muddy. Before we got to the Edgemont parking lot we were delayering as the temps rose. Lunch was enjoyed on a bench in the warm sun beside the McEwan Glen neighbourhood. We didn't stay strictly on the perimeter pathways, just wandered where the mood took us and we did enjoy a few minutes enjoying the peace and tranquility at the pond before heading back to our vehicles 5 hours later. The highlight of the day was finding that the prairie crocuses were starting to peek through in a few areas - spring is a-coming! Stats were 15.3km with 373m of elevation gain - not too shabby for a hike in the city.
