Slow Pace - Yamnuska to Raven's End - Microspike
Details
I've been off hiking for several months, so I'm starting back with a couple slow paced hikes. Expect my hikes to move to slow/relaxed and then to relaxed by March and into relaxed/moderate by April/May. For this hike, we are going slow, absolutely no running ahead.
We're going to do a winter hike on Yamnuska to Raven's End. We're hiking at a slow pace for people getting back into hiking after a break.
Distance - 7.9km
Elevation - 552m
Maximum group size is 12, for fun and safety. I will take a maximum of 2 new to me hikers.
Please bring microspikes, gaiters, waterproof hiking boots, poles, layers, water, first aid kit, lunch.
Meet in the Yamnuska parking lot ready to hike at 10am.
Arrange your own carpooling in the comments AFTER you have been accepted on the hike. Recommended $20 gas fee. I can take 3 people from the Petro at Hwy 1 and 22.
Please note: If you sign up, but cannot attend, please take yourself off the list. If you cancel after 6pm the night before or don't show up (without a good reason), you will be marked as a "no show". It is inconsiderate to those on the waitlist who don't get to attend and everyone waiting for you at the trailhead.
