| Itinerary: |
PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS A BRISK URBAN HIKE WITH LOTS OF
STAIRS
EACH WAY.We will begin at the southeastern
edge of Edworthy Park and
take The
Douglas Fir Trail along the escarpment then pick up
Quarry
Trail eastward towards Crowchild Trail. At the end of
Quarry
Trail we will turn around and come back the way we
came.
The Douglas Fir Trail is located in the
eastern
portion of Edworthy Park and is one of the most easterly
stands
of Douglas Fir in Canada.
Undulating along an escarpment created by an ancient and
much
mightier Bow River, this natural area is just minutes from
downtown. The Douglas Fir Trail is a reasonably short but
strenuous hike up and down a series of steps and
walkways
placed between the bases of beautiful, towering fir trees.
Distance: 7.2 km
