Bowmont Silver Springs
Details
Summer has, at long last, arrived. While a less fiery sun shines, let's hike the scenic trails of Bowmont Park, running along the ridge of Bow River Valley. We'll go up and down the trails at a continuous, moderate pace, plus a set of stairs or two. The goal is for participants to maintain hiking fitness. This event is NOT for beginners.
Bring poles if you usually use them. The inclines are quite steep. Bug repellent and sun screen are recommended.
Duration: 2 hours
Distance: 7 to 8 km
A waiting list has been created. You will be moved to the attending list once you have COMPLETED BOTH PARTS OF THE QUESTION ONLINE by: 1, stating your acceptance of the S&S Club risk waiver (answer 'Yes, I accept' to the RSVP question); 2, replying to direct message from organizer to provide your emergency contact's name and phone number when I DM you. Attendance is at the discretion of the organizer, NOT first come first served -- multiple 'no show' would render member ineligible for participation.
Events are weather dependent. Hike would proceed unless there are strong winds and/or heavy precipitation. Please dress appropriately for the weather. Footwear with good traction is recommended. Poles will be helpful to those who usually use them. Also, be sure to check the posting the morning of the hike for updates and/or cancellation due to inclement weather.
Prior to the event, you are required to read the waiver, then agree to the Slow and Steady Hiker Club Waiver by answering this hike's RSVP questions. You must direct message Stala to provide your emergency contact info in order to get on the hike.
