Name: Conditioning Hike - Put the training to good use #2! - Coliseum Mountain - 15km
Start: 2024-06-01T10:30:00-06:00
End: 2024-06-01T16:30:00-06:00

Have you been coming out to do the stairs with us through the winter? It's time to test out our conditioning with a second, great, early season hike - this time in Nordegg.

DETAILS:

* This event is NOT first come first served. Everyone will be put on the waiting list and will be added based on their history with the conditioning hikes.
* There is a maximum of 12 people total for this hike.
* This is a one-day event - and a long one at that - be ready to be gone the full day. Coliseum is really 3 hours there, 6 hours to hike and 3 hours back dayhike.
* Carpooling will be encouraged.

**BEAR SPRAY IS REQUIRED TO BE CARRIED IN AN ACCESSIBLE LOCATION BY ALL MEMBERS OF THE GROUP - NO EXCEPTIONS!**

We will be starting the hike at 10:30AM sharp - plan to be there a little early to get ready to hike. The hike is an 15km out and back hike with 700m - 750m of elevation gain. At that time of the year, the trail may still have some snow at the top (nothing we aren't used to, right?) so microspikes are a great idea to bring along. The hike is an uphill jaunt through the forest, gaining elevation through a bunch of switchbacks followed by a cool traverse across the rocks - time to face your fear of heights!! - and culminating in a fun little ascent up the rocks (this is NOT scrambling - no need to use your hands). Once at the summit, you are treated to a fantastic 360 degree view. It's then downhill all the way :)

On every trip through Nordegg after this, the first thing you'll see approaching from Rocky Mountain House is Coliseum Mountain and you'll give yourself a little pat on the back for conquering it!

Once moved to the going list, attendees can post on carpooling options. This event may need to be modified or cancelled if conditions are not ideal. Further details will be provided closer to the event.

As always, if you are feeling unwell, please stay home, take care of yourself and join us another time.
