2nd Annual Skirt Hike Lake Minnewanka Banff- T2 SLOW STRONG Hikers

PLEASE READ ALL DESCRIPTION BEFORE SIGNING UP!!!
I will take 12 hikers max. In order to be considered for any of my mountain hikes you must have hiked with me previously or attended one of my urban walks.

This hike is dependent on weather, roads and trail conditions.
I will have a Plan B (we will hike)
If you like the destination but not a slow pace please wait for another organizer to put this one together. Thank you.

We will meet at 8:30 am at the park n ride on Home Road at Shouldice Park and coordinate carpools and travel from there to Banff and the Lake Minnewanka parking lot.

Recommended gas share is $20.
The hike is moderate in relation to elevation and will be more of a cumulative gain. It is an in and back hike and we will likely do ~ 12 km in total.
