days? Note that the coordinator has not done this trail before so please be patient. Please go to the included link below and read the write up explaining the trail. This lesser-known trail is located

Kananaskis Country.
This is "one of the most enjoyable
ridge walks
you will ever take,"
according to the Gillian Daffern's
Kananaskis
Country trail guide.
Some of the folks will likely head into Canmore for a apre-hike drink/snack. Please bring bear spray. No bear bells please.
