The Iceline truly is a premier & classic hike according to the book entitled "Don't waste your time in the Rockies". Yoho National Park is smaller than the other parks in the Canadian Rockies and yet has the heaviest concentration of high-impact scenery. Bring your cheerful personalities & your sense of humour and let's have a blast in Yoho.

Please read the information below prior to signing up.
- The pace will be moderate (no slowpokes please).
- Given the distance combined with the elevation gain, the event is best suited to STRONG hikers.
- Early start from Calgary and definitively late return.
- Expect to finish the hike with a splash under the Takkakaw Falls :-)
- We will stop for a bite/drink on our way back.

*** Please only register if you are genuinely interested in this hike and have the right fitness level. Cancellations only create additional work for co-ordinators who are 100% volunteers. Thank you for your understanding.
