About us
How many times have you seen hiking clubs where if you're not a super fast uber- hiker they don't want you going on any harder hikes or scrambles. They believe that if you are slower you should only stick to the easier stuff. Boring!! This is a club for those of us who still wish to do all styles of hiking from easy walks to scrambles. We just don't feel the need to make a "mad dash" for a summit or to finish a trail in record time. Hiking and being in the outdoors is meant to be an enjoyable activity for all of us. Slow and Steady is about hiking at a consistent, manageable pace -- which may vary from slow to moderate depending on the organizer -- and finishing the hike or scrambling to a summit together. If this is more your style and wish to meet like minded hikers please consider joining our club. We will be doing all kinds of summer and winter activities such as day hikes, scrambles, backpacking trips, XC skiing, snowshoe trips, downhill ski trips and any other outdoor related activity. Remember slow and steady wins the race. Lets all enjoy the great outdoors together. Just in a more relaxed pace.

Bike Ride : Renfrew Off-Leash Dog Park to Bowness park
Renfrew off leash parking lot, 822 St Georges Dr NE, Calgary, AB, CALet’s warm up!
The weather on Tuesday looks nice enough for a bike ride. That said, road conditions are still uncertain—there may be gravel and patches of ice here and there—so we’ll play it by ear. Let’s meet at Renfrew Off-Leash Dog Park and ride toward Edworthy Park. If conditions are good, we can continue on to Bowness Park—it would be our first in 2026. Otherwise, we can keep it easy and just enjoy a relaxed, chill outing.-This ride will depend on the weather and trail conditions, so please check before heading out to the meeting point.
Looking forward to seeing everyone out there!
