Moderate Spring Scramble - Little Lougheed

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/2/1/0/event_118216912.jpegIt looks like the snow is a problem on most approaches right now. Little Lougheed has a relatively short approach through the trees, and even in winter the snow isn't too deep. (The photo was taken in January 2010.) This will be a good kickoff to the scrambling season.

The pace will be slow. We need a minimum of four people for this trip to happen.

Distance: 5.5 km roundtrip

Elevation gain: 770 m

Dogs: allowed
