Itinerary: | |||||||
Grab your headlamps! Let's get out of the city and enjoy the night-time quiet of the Nordic Centre Trails in Canmore! This trip is suited for intermediate to advanced skiiers who are comfortable skiing at a pace of about 5 - 7 km per hour on trackset trails by headlamp and 'street' lamp. Both skaters and classic skiers are welcome to join. Skiing after 5 p.m. is free, and the Centre illuminates 6.5 kilometres of skiing trails until 9 p.m. each evening. We'll head up the illuminated Banff Trail (map available here: http://www.canmorenordic.com/dbfiles/41.pdf), and then once we reach the end of the lights at the Meadows (Junction 15), we'll continue on by headlamp to the edge of the park (Junction 9). Round trip distance: 11km. If we get back to the Daylodge and there is still time and energy, we may add a loop around the illuminated Lynx trail (2.5 ish km round-trip from the Lodge). | |||||||
