What to bring
Bring a packed lunch/snacks and water. Wear sturdy hiking shoes with grippers (in winter) and layered clothing. Consider trekking poles. Remember your camera, optional binoculars and your fabulous personality!

We will meet at the Golf Course parking lot. Please plan to be there a few minutes early and allow extra time to purchase a park pass at the kiosk. We want to depart for the hike right at 12:00 noon.

Cost
National Park passes are required. However the Canada Strong Pass is free until September 2nd inclusive! We encourage carpooling to share the costs. If you want to carpool, meet us at Hardisty Pool at 11:00 am. Just leave a comment to let us know to save a spot for you! (Courtesy driver fee is usually $5 per person to pitch-in for gas. Thanks!)
