Distance: abt ~19km return Elevation gain: abt ~1000m(gain/loss) Hiking boots required - Sorry NO runners/sandals or Jeans. thx The rounded crest of Forgetmenot Ridge offers fulfilling views. The trail begins with an initial steep ascent, however we will be rewarded with a scenic 3km alpine cruise after our efforts. The trail should give great views of the foothills and give us a great August workout. PLEASE NOTE: This coordinator likes to explore this area-therefore, elevation and distance might vary abit from above. TIP for NW members:. Please note that this is not a speed demon's hike(getting to the top in record time) nor is it for very slowpokes, we will be hiking at a Moderate Pace on flat areas and at a Slower Pace on steeper terrain going up. If you are not willing to follow this pace, pls do not sign up. If you're not sure about a hike, feel free to contact the coordinator and remember to always hike within your ability in order to be able to keep up with the group. If you have not hiked in the mountains before nor recently hiked with 400M+, this hike is not for you. If you're used to "very slowpoke- paced hikes" then this hike is not for you. ******* Note that COC event coordinators are volunteers and are NOT trained guides. All participants are responsible for their OWN safety and equipment. One should come prepared as if they were hiking by themselves. Pls note that last minute cancellations create additional work for the co ordinators who are volunteering their time. Preference given to drivers. We are out to enjoy the day. Return/hike time may vary. | |||||||
