Itinerary:

We're going to hike hills today in preparation for summer backpack trips :)
From the parking area we'll make our way up to the top of Nose Hill, veer off to the right, climb up another smaller hill and from there scout out our route down and then repeat back up and down again.
Bring as much or as little weight in your pack as you are comfortable carrying. I'm SLOW on the uphills so will be stopping to catch my breath.

Please plan to arrive at least 10min early so we can head out right on time.

Required Items to Bring:
- sturdy shoes or boots
- water

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
- Snacks if you wish.
- Warm layered clothing suitable to the outside temperatures.
