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.

King Creek Ridge Route, Alberta, Canada - 3,449 Reviews, Map | AllTrails
Discover this 6.9-km out-and-back trail near Kananaskis Improvement, Alberta. Generally considered a challenging route, it takes an average of 4 h 0 min to complete. This is a very popular area for hiking, snowshoeing, and running, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are June through October. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. From the King Creek parking lot, the trail is reached by going back down the road and taking the trail that goes parallel to the highway on the right. After entering the forest the ascent up the to the ridge begins. The trail to the ridge is very steep and loose dirt and rocks on the path add to the difficulty. Wearing proper hiking shoes or trail running shoes is recommended.
