Oct 21st - Cranberry Flats & Beaver Creek Hike

Join us for a day hike at Cranberry Flats & Beaver Creek on Saturday, Oct 21st!!!PLEASE RSVP BY WED OCT 18TH. No limit to # of people. But we'd like to know by then who's committed to coming

Both trails offer fantastic views of the South Saskatchewan River. We might even get the chance to feed some chickadees at Beaver Creek and if we're really lucky the cranes will still be around.

We'll meet at 10AM at Cranberry Flats Conservation Area https://goo.gl/maps/MTobqkZRijpUK7wSA
This trail loop is about 2.5 - 3 KM long. It should take about 1 hour.

We'll then drive about 10 min to Beaver Creek Conservation Area

There are several trails here adding up to about 7KM. Total hike time here will be 2 - 2.5 hours.
At some point we'll take a break for some lunch/snacks.

We expect to be back in the city between 2 - 3 PM.
