What we’re about
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.

- Bragg Creek 3 P's Moderate Pace. Strong Beginners are Welcome!Elbow Falls, Bragg Creek, AB
Meeting Place:
Parking lot at Elbow Falls.We will do the loop of Powderface creek - Prairie Link to Prairie Creek Trail.
Trail: This hike will combine parts of 3 trails to make a nice loop. We will first hike up the easier section of the Powderface Creek trail cut over east on the Prairie Link Trail and come back down the Prairie Creek trail. The Powderface Creek trailhead starts about 500 meters west of our end point at the Prairie Creek trailhead. This trail rolls up and down for its length, never gaining much elevation, but definitely a good workout. Nice scenery. We will meet at the parking lot at Elbow Falls.
THE DETAILS:
Distance: 12 km approx.
The total elevation gain is approx. 250 meters. While this sounds flat, there is a quite a bit of climbing up and down, up and down, the side of the ridge above Prairie Creek. This trail rolls up and down small inclines the entire way, so it is a great workout.
Time on trial approx. 4-5 hours plus driving time of an hour or so each way.PACE: Moderate. No strolling
GEAR: Hiking Poles, dress properly for the weather, snacks, water, bear spray, good sense of humor.QUESTIONS: Send me a direct message.
