Itinerary: | |||||||
Distance: 19km return (7.2km to Lake + 2.3km to Pass) Elevation: 1035m (725m to Lake + 310m to Pass) Pace: Relaxed yet steady (No speed demons please, we're out to enjoy the day, not race to the finish) Footwear: Proper hiking boots/shoes required Register only if: you have previous experience with 800m+ elevation and are confident in your ability to keep pace with the group. We will be hiking at a moderate pace on gentler grades and slower on steeper terrain. If you have to be home by a certain time, please choose another event - there are no guarantees when it comes to hiking so if in doubt, don't come out. :) This 7.2km trail climbs the slopes of Mt. Bourgeau to a small alpine lake nestled high above the Bow Valley. The path follows the course of Wolverine Creek, which delivers the outflow of Bourgeau Lake into the Bow River. A climb of 725m is required to reach the lake, which is a lovely setting for lunch before tackling Harvey Pass which separates Mt. Bourgeau and Mt Brett 2.3km further and 310m higher. | |||||||
