What we’re about
Welcome! This group is designed to encourage activity, witty banter, laughter, beautiful views and new friendships. We will be doing day hikes in the Kananaskis/Banff/Lake Louise areas. The difficultly level will be somewhere between moderate/hard as these are the most rewarding physically and mentally at the end of the day, and usually provide the best views. Pace will be average with water/snack breaks and lunch at the top.
Lake/river plunges are highly encouraged and beneficial to the body in many different ways (as long as it is hot enough out). Dogs are welcome provided they won't sink their teeth into anyone! We will try to avoid major scrambles as those can be difficult to navigate with the pups.
Enjoying a cold beverage at the top, or after the hike is supported and welcome. Also, being a geologist if you are interested in what you are hiking on, I'd be happy to answer any questions. (This will not be a stop and go "check this out" kind of thing so we can avoid having to stop every 10 minutes). If you don't care, that's fine too I will not be preaching or lecturing!
Excited to get out and do some amazing hikes and meet some fun people!
