Have you been working to build your fitness this summer? This trip is ideal for those who have been doing a lot of walking, hill training and working to improve their overall fitness this summer and who want to challenge themselves with what will feel like a 3 hour stair climb. Your coordinator has not done the 'new and improved' Ha Ling trail and is looking forward to seeing the changes!

Our pace will be slow with many stops, but you must still have a good level of fitness to join us so that you don't injure yourself - and so you aren't totally miserable. ;) This is not a suitable hike for beginners. If you are a fast, fit hiker who prefers to head straight up and run down, this probably isn't the hike for you unless you are looking for a VERY relaxed outing. Members must be prepared to stop and wait patiently with the group.

Bring a camera and enjoy the views as we go, and don't be in a hurry to turn around and go down. We are aiming for an early start to avoid crowds and potential afternoon weather changes. Weather TBA.

I am planning to stop in Canmore after for coffee and to check out a shop called Switching Gears. https://maps.app.goo.gl/SJT3TBirdvmfykTEA
