Itinerary:

Meet at 9:15 am for a 9:30 am departure. This hike is primarily a ridge walk, accounting for a cumulative elevation gain of 1205 m. Atop the ridge there are 360 degree views. Though there are a few easy scrambles, the difficulty rating is primarily due to the elevation gain. This hike is a loop, requiring a 4 km car shuttle. Because some hikers may be uncomfortable riding in a vehicle with persons who have not been vaccinated, we request that only persons who are fully vaccinated sign up. As well, please bring and wear a mask during the car shuttle as an extra COVID precaution. This hike will be done at a moderate pace with rest breaks as needed.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Suntan lotion, bug spray, bear spray, sun hat, lots of water.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Drive to Highwood Junction (meeting place of Highways 40, 541 and 940). Take the gravelled forestry trunk road (called either 541 or 940). Drive ~ 21.5 km from the Highwood Junction (you will pass parking lot for Raspberry Ridge, and Cataract Creek Day Use Area and Campground turnoffs). Approximately 13.5 km from Cataract Creek turnoffs, watch for an old logging road on your right, which descends into a very small open area. Park there. We will organize the car shuttle from there.

Notes:

Because of the long drive to the trailhead (approx 1 hr 45 min) and moderate pace, this will be a long day. We will likely not get back to Calgary until 6:30 - 7:00 pm
